There are currently two artists with this name: Though they've been around for a few years now, this London-based quartet appeared quite suddenly on a U.K. scene already crowded with young upstart guitar-based bands declaring a mutual love for canyon rock, space rock, and solid '70s-era singer/songwriter balladry (others include fellow Brits Delta, Mojave 3, Four Storeys, Goldrush (formerly Whispering Bob), and Scottish guitar-rock bands like Teenage Fanclub and fellow labelmates the Cosmic Rough Riders). Their lineup features former members of Scala, Seefeel, and Jupiter, an Australian shoegazer band.

With a given name like January, it’s no wonder that singer-songwriter January Thompson’s label debut Careful What You Tell the Sky comes off as a pristine wintery soundscape.

January, a new addition to the Quango family, is bringing her ambient and electronic talent to ears everywhere in her first single “Careful What You Tell The Sky,”. This premier release radiates soft tones with electronic beats creating a warm ethereal ambience with her remarkably sensual and distinctive voice. Her debut album, Careful What You Tell The Sky, was released in 2010.
