Mexeena: Achingly beautiful.. almost edible!.


Mexeena's musical journey started when her and her sister were asked to join Acaysha, a local folk band, playing fiddle and banjo. They knew two tunes between them and began doing the rounds of the Norfolk pub folk scene. Lots of friends were made, including Anna, the girlfriend of legendary session pedal steel player - BJ Cole.

Their first album 'Uncovered' was recorded by BJ and they gigged it around as many folk festivals and pubs as physically possible, bearing in mind they were all holding down full time jobs.

Helping out BJ during the recordings was Guy Jackson who posted Mexeena some musical ideas to have a bash at writing some lyrics around....a bonus if she could come up with some sort of melody!

In his studio Guy Jackson is a songwriter and a computer games sound designer where his sonic palette and bizarre arrangements push stereo to its max! Guy was stunned by the melodies and top-lines Mexeena came back to him with, and the "Ether" project grew from there. Adrian Lever, who was a root member of Acaysha, became interested in the Ether project and started dropping into Guy's studio to add his acoustic guitar flavours to the tracks. Later, they promoted Ether around various London, Oxford and Norwich venues, enjoying what they were creating live. The three of them had a catch up and jam session at Adrian's gaff late 2009 and the pickings were so delicious that the ideas will provide a second Mexeena offering in mid 2010.

Mexeena the band are all very proud of the sound of Ether. It finds them slightly left-field with a hint of turquoise love. Get out your earpiece and save a space in your Ether!
