I Created Disco

A brittle, cheeky debut of tracker-based synth-pop. Recorded in a bedroom on vintage hardware, it trades high-gloss for deadpan humor and jagged funk.

Quirky debut

A scrawny, sarcastic energy drives this self-contained debut, which trades in stiff rhythms and bright, plastic synthesizers. Recorded entirely in a home setup using an Amiga computer, the album pairs a dry, almost bored Scottish lilt with retro-futuristic 8-bit hooks that sound like a house party in a small town.

Moments Worth Waiting For

05Acceptable in the 80sThe squelchy, rhythmic synth bassline on 'Acceptable in the 80s' anchors the track's repetitive, minimalist pop structure.
