Mozart Estate, formerly known as Go-Kart Mozart, are an English indie pop band founded by Lawrence, previously of the bands Felt and Denim. Lawrence formed the group as a reaction to his previous bands' lack of commercial success. He has called it "the world's first B-side band," which he explains "simply meant that you would take away the pressure of I've got to write a hit single, I've got to write an album that's going to get in the top ten." The band's original name is derived from a line in the song "Blinded by the Light" by Bruce Springsteen.
During the ‘80s Felt made ten albums and ten singles for the Cherry Red and Creation labels. These records have recently been remastered and revisited by Lawrence.
Tower Block In A Jam Jar is the new album from Mozart Estate. Since the new band hit the road, the older Go-Kart Mozart songs have taken on a new life and Lawrence feels it’s time to finally release them on vinyl. The album will be released as a stunning special-edition coloured vinyl, and a deluxe CD package. Tower Block In A Jam Jar is for everybody, young or old.
