Alphabeat Sign To Polydor
Universal's Polydor UK have signed Alphabeat.
The London-based Danish six piece are currently working on a follow up to last year's 'This Is Alphabeat', which was released by Copenhagen Records in their home country, and by EMI's Charisma label over here. The new album will still be released by Copenhagen in Denmark, but by Universal divisions cross the rest of the world thanks to their new deal with Polydor UK.
Polydor top man Ferdy Unger-Hamilton told CMU: “Alphabeat write pop songs with style, wit and intelligence, grown-up pop with genuine global appeal. They arrived in the UK like a breath of fresh air last year and I'm delighted they are joining us at Polydor”.
The band's manager, Iain Watt of Machine Management, added: “We are thrilled to be signing to one of the UK's most successful record companies and looking forward to achieving even more success with the band and Polydor in the coming years”.
