A trio that cannot be pigeonholed. Three sitting musicians. A pianist whose notes flow like lifeblood. A drummer whose nerves strike the beat as if today was the last day to live. And a singer whose brain is sentenced to overflow without respite... Sometimes violent, sometimes soothing, always redeeming, never free. Three different pieces of the human being finding their souls and leaving all these modern sacrificed landscapes far behind. Bass and guitar are left aside to create a brand new musical horizon : an unhappy medium between Chopin, Nirvana, Danny Elfman and Envy, somewhere in Alaska.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT – WORLDWIDE – JANUARY 7th 2010
Dear All,
M.O.P.A. is signing with I AM RECORDINGS. We feel very proud to share the same hallmark as AT THE DRIVE IN, KORN, NORMA JEAN and BLACK LIGHT BURNS… This organization, founded by Ross Robinson, is undoubtedly the most appropriate and pertinent solution for our aims. Ross was one of the first to believe in us. He’s an advocate of a cultural revolution that places new emphasis on the artist, restoring his freedom of choice and development.
This choice allows us to work worldwide with the organizations that are closely involved with M.O.P.A, such as WANGBA RECORDS in China, TRUSTKILL RECORDS and TEAM AATM for the USA, GORDEON in Germany, JERKOV / NOUS PRODUCTIONS / MATHPROMO / INNOVATIVE in France, BRILLIANCE BOOKING for Eastern Europe, INTERNATIONAL MUSIC TALENT and CAVA in Russia, DIVISION RECORDS in Switzerland, BELIEVE DIGITAL for UK and digital, etc…
We hope to be both front-row spectators and actors for this album release. We would like it to be a meeting point with those who listen to us. We are glad to announce several important dates that we are looking forward to:
-The 1st of Februar 2010: BEGINNING OF THE PRE-ORDERS FOR THE COLLECTOR SERIES ALBUM (double vinyl « album » + CD « album » +DVD)
-The 1st of March 2010: WORLD RELEASE OF THE COLLECTOR SERIES ALBUM
-The 15th of March 2010: DIGITAL RELEASE
-The 5th of April 2010: PHYSICAL RELEASE
Thanks to all “AMEN”…is the title of our album.
See you soon M.O.P.A.
- Produced by Ross Robinson (The Klaxons, At The Drive In, The Cure)
- Mixed by Ryan Boesch (Eels, Foo Fighters, Helmet, Norma Jean, Ben Harper)
- Mastered by Alan Douches (Converge, Mastodon, Dillinger Escape Plan)

Thanks for the bulletin comment!
Not many bands will do that. I like it.
When will we see MOPA grace the shores of Australia?
Plus, i'm definitely jealous you've seen Envy live, I'd give anything to see them.
Je crois en dieu :) Est ce qu'on pourrait pre commander ce squeud via ANTISTATIC, je serais tente de dire comme d'habitude pour ceux qui connaissent la scene de Toulouse !! mais bon, j'ai 1 chance sur 100 d'avoir une reponse !!!!
Pas d'problèmes ;) C'est une très bonne chose qu'un groupe français puisse voyager autant^^ Une bonne chose que vous ayez saisi cette opportunité. Merci aussi pour votre com! Allez à bientôt ! NOEIN
Votre ascension est méritée. Ca fait plaisir en tout cas! J'apprécie les nouveaux titres et me réjouis d'écouter l'album entier! L'évolution n'est pas mauvaise même si je me demande si les voix claires sont nécessaires. Quoique, elles sont bien réfléchies donc, it's up to you.
Autre chose, le bleu banquises vous allait terriblement mieux. Ca représentait plus la distance de la musique, l'aspect solitaire et sans issue. Les pleines glacées me manquent déjà hahaha. Ce vieux piano ensanglanté... Ca ne m'inspire pas :) trop direct, pas assez symbolique, trop accessible.
Enfin, je vous dis ce que j'ai sur le coeur. No Offence. Au contraire
I really enjoy your sound. I still frequently listen to your first album a lot. There's something so raw and powerful to it, it just never gets old to me.
Salut les mecs ! merci pour le compliment ! on a trop hâte que votre album paraisse ! l'artwork est complètement fou...... tellement la classe ce serait vraiment cool d'enfin pouvoir partager une scène....
woo! i been up nearly 24 hours on this myspace here talking to people! haha kind of nuts but hey being personable takes time..how have you been? hope you enjoyed the music
Je ne pourrai pas être là le 12 mai, donc soirée de pré-écoute !
Et puis, Nouveau Casino, EMB Sannois (si possible) et Creil (si possible aussi) !
You are my heroes ! Un jour j'écrirai un morceau sur vous et un livre sur toutes les folies que vous me faites faire ! Parce qu'il n'y a que vous pour ça !
PS : Envoie moi le lien pour les add, j'ai déjà commencé !
