flat7 was project of Mitsuo Tate, one of the touring guitarist from Cocteau Twins from 1989 - 1996.
Mitsuo Tate, born in Aizu, Japan on the 19th of May 1965, was an enigmatic and thoroughly entertaining addition to the Cocteau family. With his unusual diction and bizarre facial hair, he helped them through many potentially grim moments with great humour. Apart from his undeniable charm, he is a wonderful musician, who can turn his hand to anything, including making the band sushi. A musical chameleon, his ability to re-create other people’s sounds is legendary, yet his own songwriting talents are sadly still to be properly recognised. In 2005 he released Lost in Blue under the name Flat 7 on Fate Records, which included the track “Smile” featuring Miki Berenyi of Lush and a remix of the song by Robin Guthrie.
In 1986, on a tour of Japan, Cocteau Twins stumbled across the Ishibashi music store in central Tokyo, where a shy boy nervously served their peculiar demands for Ernie Ball plectrums! Little did they know that just three years later in September 1989, this same individual would turn up on the doorstep of the studio to leave an unforgettable mark on their lives.
