I am proud to announce my solo album "EUPHORIC MELANCHOLY" is finally being released on the 26th September 2025 via molano music 🎭

Also, this Friday (19th) I'll be dropping one last single, "Dreaming Awake", my most ambitious track yet 👁️

TRACKLIST:

1. Isn't It Beautiful
2. Falling Star
3. Endless Mirror
4. The Boy With Light In His Eyes
5. All Let Go
6. Modern Living
7. The Soul Explodes
8. Lost In Inner Space
9. Leaves Under Your Feet
10. Dreaming Awake

This has been a long time coming, and while I have been crazy busy touring with Rambert Peaky Blinders and The Rock Orchestra, I knew I had to get this into the world before the year was out.

This album means an unbelievable amount to me and while the world has changed so much in the time I spent making it, it is a passion project that I have played and designed every part of and is a world of it's own 🎸🎤 🎹 🥁 🎨

It is my gift to anyone with an open mind, a love for alternative rock and for embarking on musical journeys. I hope you will find something of yourself within it as I did by making it 🌌

Link in bio for pre-save streaming links, plus a super aesthetic physical CD will be available to order very soon 💿 (honestly looks so dope)

I'll be posting a ton about this over the next few weeks, but thank you to everyone who has supported my music so far, I hope you'll love it 🙏🏻

My new solo album "Euphoric Melancholy" is officially out today on streaming and available on CD 🎭

I spent 3 years making this as the follow up to 2019's "Vertigo At History's Edge" and I wrote, sang, played, produced, designed and mixed every part of it 🎼

Channelled through the lens of indie rock, prog and alternative influences (such as @stevenwilsonhq @rush @pinkfloyd @jeffbuckleymusic ) the album is a alt rock musical journey through the past decade of my inner world and is my most meaningful musical and creative work that I've made to date.

I sincerely hope that, in giving this a listen, that you let it become a part of your life soundtrack, and find something within as I did by making this.

"Truthful, Raw and yet not too polished that the spirit is erased behind a wall of sound, Euphoric Melancholy may be one of the honest and impressive albums you will hear all year" - Paul Monkhouse / @metaltalk_net

A huge amount of love and thanks to everyone who has supported me up to this point, for streaming the singles and joining me on this journey ❤️

Hit up my links in bio for streaming, merch and more 🙌🏻

Proof of existence 🧘🏼 thought I'd upload some pics after taking an unofficial hiatus from posting anything on socials over the summer. A little calm before the storm of putting up story posts of random cities and stages at soundcheck on tour starting next week. Cheers @m.r1dha for these lovely shots ✨📸 x taken in Utrecht, Netherlands by @mitchelemms

It's been a hot minute since I posted up something non-tour related, really love this shot. The past year and a half has been pretty full on; lots of travel, shows and big experiences. Feels good to now have a bit of time and space again for new things to grow and see what's next. 🪻 X taken in Depot Boijmans van Beuningen by @mitchelemms

A chapter I'll remember for the rest of my life and impossible to sum up in just one social media post (but I'll try anyway!)

7 weeks, 38 shows, 22 towns and cities, tens of thousands of miles travelled. From adrenaline fuelled performances and skydiving for the first time to quiet moments of solitude and reflection in art galleries and nature gardens; that side of the world has left a imprint on my very being that I'll never forget (with a few bumps, scratches, bruised ribs and some pretty serious sunburn along the way).

2026 so far has tested me mentally, physically and spiritually but I'm proud of myself for making it through and performing my heart out night after night alongside these incredibly talented bunch of legends. I have such gratitude for getting to experience this wild, world expanding opportunity of a tour.

A huge congratulations to whole The Rock Orchestra band, crew and team for such an epic and successful run of shows, immensely privileged to have been a part of it. And finally, a huge thank you to all the awesome audiences who welcomed us with open arms every night.

Onwards we go x

Cheers @josephmurphyfilm for so many of these great stage shots!

2025: it's impossible to sum it up in one post, tag everybody and do everything justice, but I'm going to at least try!

This year has been the busiest and most surprising year of my life as a musician, performer and artist, which has seen me perform hundreds of shows on 2 epic productions (a frontman for @therockorchestra / multi instrumentalist for @rambertdance Peaky Blinders) in Arenas and theatres internationally, alongside various other events I've gigged in between.

I finally released my 2nd solo album "Euphoric Melancholy" in September, which is my most realised creative effort to date. I guested on @donaireykeys album "Pushed To The Edge" back in March, and I appeared on "Classics Vol.1" by The Rock Orchestra which hit #1 on the UK rock and metal charts in November.

I also had the crazy opportunity to represent the UK in India, singing alongside India's largest symphonic youth orchestra @saisymphonyorchestra_official as part of a multi national World unity event and Guinness World Record attempt in November (like, what???).

This year has taught me an unbelievable amount about myself, took me to places I've never been and brought new amazing people into my life that have set for me new standards of greatness, hilarity, perspective and inspiration, it's overwhelming to try and process how much this year has meant to me.

The world is a more complicated place than ever, and if this all went away tomorrow I'd remain eternally grateful for everything I've experienced this year; 2025 gave me memories for a lifetime and proof that the decades of hard work I've put in were all worth it.

The biggest love to those who have supported me this year both on and off the road, leant me an ear, given me amazing chats and crying with laughter moments, shared journeys / stages / dressing rooms / green rooms / tour buses with, and also to those who have shared with me their appreciation for my music and everything I do, you all really mean the world to me.

Wishing everybody an incredible 2026 ❤️‍🔥

Love, Mitch. X

Where to begin making a post about singing on a tour that saw us performing all across the country in both sold out theatres *and* Arenas? 🤯

I've been incredibly blessed to be a part of the most successful run of shows with @therockorchestra, touring with a huge international team of incredible people, sharing the stage with some of the best musicians in the business (plus the flame wielding @thefuelgirls and epically talented @lcvchoir 🔥)

Not only was this a huge achievement for @megaevents_ @cma_touring and all involved, but it was such a blast to do this show all around the Netherlands, Ireland and the UK, with everyone being such a great hang. Many full circle moments for me too, performing packed out shows in cities I have so many memories of gigging in as a younger musician.

Impossible to tag everybody but it's been so inspiring to sing with @addienicole666 @whoserinfox @geenafontanella nd @beingasaniris on these shows, who I got to watch and hear bring their uniqueness to each show every night and shine so bright onstage. I even got to hang with and see @gerardcanonicoofficial sing and smash his version of the show during rehearsals for this and was blown away. What an incredible community of world class singers and players that I'm humbled to be associated with.

Thanks to everyone for making this tour a joy to be a part of, the epic photographers on the road (looking at you @joshfoley.mp4 / @sophbuckleyy) to all the new followers on here, those met me at the Merch table (and took one of my signed album flyers!), and for all the awesome and wonderful comments and messages.

Hope you all enjoy my version of "Paint It Black" on the new TRO album out this Halloween 💿

Here's to more shows in 2026! 🔥🎉🙏🏻

As a tribute to this incredible show I spent a year touring internationally and being involved with for 100 shows, I combined footage of our performances at La Seine Musicale, Paris taken in March 2025 with the live desk audio recording of our final UK performance of the show at Sadler's Wells in London on the 16th August 2025.

Follow my link in bio to watch the full video on YouTube 👆🏻

This show was an absolute privilege and career highlight for me to perform night after night as a singer / multi-instrumentalist and an incredible achievement by everyone involved. My deepest thanks to the dancers, musicians, artistic & producing team, physio and technical team; an awesomely talented bunch of wonderful humans who made this production so special and unforgettable.

Having had so many requests to post some of our live band performances online, specifically this song in the show, here it finally is. Enjoy!

So I've just had a physical CD run done of my new solo album "Euphoric Melancholy" (playing in the background of this vid!) and I'm unbelievably proud and happy with how cool this thing is.

It's incredibly special to hold a physical object that was just once an idea in your head, and it's the first time I've had my own music artwork designs printed up properly like this.

It's so cool to see my artwork come to life, as well as containing an album that I wrote, sang, played, recorded, produced and mixed entirely myself.

If you dig what this looks / sounds like, the album comes out tomorrow on all streaming but you can also pick up this CD at my website 🙌🏻💿

My new single "DREAMING AWAKE" is out now today on all platforms! From my upcoming album "Euphoric Melancholy".

This was the starting point of my album, when in the winter of 2020 an existential music jam i recorded became this track and kicked off my belief in making my own music again, after a period of writers block following my first album "Vertigo At History's Edge".

I wanted to push the boundaries of what I was capable of as a musician and this track became a 9 minute epic full of shifts in texture and mood with big instrumental moments, again with myself playing and singing every part and mixing every second.

I also wrote this facing the end of my 20s and it was about that reckoning with the inevitable passing of time, and the power that realization gives us to risk it all and take a chance on ourselves and the things we believe in; to rage against the dying of the light.

This song, as well as all of the others on Euphoric Melancholy, are a kind of emotional cartography of the journey I went on to become who I am today.

I hope you give my music a listen and find something of yourself within it 🌌

Give it a listen and let me know in the comments below what you think! X
