Qua is an Australian indie electronica producer affiliated with Mush Records. Born Cornel Wilczek and based in Melbourne, Australia, he made his full-length album debut in 2002 with Forgetabout, an electro-acoustic effort on Surgery Records. Second album Painting Monsters on Clouds (2004) was also released on Surgery Records. Around this time, Wilczek worked with Australian indie pop stars Architecture in Helsinki on their critically acclaimed second album, In Case We Die (2005), and Mush Records band Clue to Kalo on their second album, One Way, It's Every Way (2005). The third Qua album, Q&A, was unveiled in 2008. Originally released on the Love + Mercy label, Q&A features contributions from a couple of notable drummers, James Cecil of Architecture in Helsinki and Laurence Pike of Savath + Savalas. Wilczek also collaborated with Pike on the Silver Red EP (2008), an improvised live recording on Someone Good Records. In 2009 Qua joined the roster of Mush Records, which re-released not only Q&A but also Forgetabout and Painting Monsters on Clouds. The label also released the Goodmorning Sun/Circles remix EP, which includes a pair of songs from Q&A along with a bunch of remixes. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
