Miserylab [UK]


Miserylab is the main music project of Porl King, formed after the disbanding of Rosetta Stone in the late 1990s.

King originally conceived miserylab as a moniker for remix and production purposes, such as work done for My Vitriol and the Mercury Music Award winning Elbow. A number of tracks were written in 2000, but were not released whilst production work remained the priority.

In 2005 King created a profile on MySpace, reworking and uploading some of his early miserylab material. In 2007 four of these tracks were made available as a free download, complete with downloadable artwork, known as the Vaporware EP.

Enthused by a positive response, and the successful relocation of his home studio to Leeds, King began writing the full-length Function Creep in November 2007. Released in April 2008 as both a download and limited edition CD, it had a more guitar-driven, post-punk feel than the previous EP. Function Creep was immediately followed by a downloadable single, an extended version of the track Be There Tomorrow.

King is now working on a second album, A Death That We Can Cure, intended to be released on November 5th, 2008. (It is consciously being released on the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot.)
