They're British, they like electrified music and they pull it altogether jazz style.

It has been five years since The Cinematic Orchestra released Everyday. So it was with great anticipation on March 26, 2007 that they launched Ma Fleur, the record was written as the soundtrack to a specially commissioned screenplay for an imagined film (which may or may not yet be made).

Their label, Ninjatune Releases, says "Dealing with themes of loss and love - and in itself representing a kind of absence - "Ma Fleur" is fertile ground for Swinscoe's brand of music-making, for while people have talked about what he does in terms of jazz, the truth is that the basis of his music has always been in raw emotion."
