Ivo Watts-Russell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ivo Watts-Russell is the founder and president of the legendary English indie record label 4AD. He has also produced several records, himself preferring to use the term "musical director" to explain his role in the creation.

One of his most famous productions is the Cocteau Twins debut Garlands. He also leads This Mortal Coil, writing and selecting songs, the musicians and singers for each song, and even occasionally playing keyboards. Ivo's last project was The Hope Blister, releasing two albums: ...Smiles oK and Underarms, and he is planning to create more music on the 4AD label in the future. Underarms was originally released as a limited edition CD; it was rereleased in 2005, with an extra CD of remixes by Markus Guentner entitled Sideways.
