MU is a British electropunk group formed by Japanese musician Mutsumi Kanamori and English DJ Maurice Fulton.[1][2] They have released three albums: Afro Finger and Gel,[3] Out of Breach (Manchester's Revenge), which featured the minor hit "Paris Hilton"[1][2] and Mu. Their debut album received critical acclaim from Pitchfork Media. It was given the "Best New Award" when first released.
