12 Jun 2006 : VIA TANIA
Mushroom Music are pleased to announce their latest signing, futuristic pop chanteuse Tania Bowers, better known on stage as Via Tania.
From her beginnings in Sydney all-girl indie outfit Spdfgh and since adopting the Via Tania moniker, Bowers has proven herself as a highly versatile and adventurous songwriter. While difficult to label stylistically, Bowers' work is deeply textured ranging from electro-country to dark glitchy cabaret pop and beyond. Her catalogue includes her phenomenal debut long-player 'Under a Different Sky', a star studded affair which featured guest work from the likes of Prefuse-73, Giant Sand's Howe Gelb and various members of Tortoise, alongside several EPs. Via Tania is released locally by Trifekta, in the US via Chocolate Industries and in Japan via P-Vine.
Permanently based in Chicago, Bowers is in close proximity of her frequent collaborators. Bowers is currently finalising the work on her sophomore album, a release which is bound to sink deep into the soul and position Via Tania as one of our finest independent exports.
