Women in Technology

Dusty 1930s jazz samples meet stark bedroom electronics. A lonely, brilliant collection of lo-fi synth-pop recorded entirely on a home studio budget.

The ultimate 'smart-person-in-their-bedroom' album that somehow conquered the world for five minutes.

A starkly honest and intellectually cynical exploration of loneliness and desire set against a backdrop of minimalist electronics.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The iconic Al Bowlly trumpet sample that anchors the lead single, creating a ghostly bridge between the 1930s and the 1990s.

The stark, almost uncomfortable intimacy of the dry vocal delivery on 'Undressed' that feels like someone whispering in your ear.

The sudden shift into a more aggressive, distorted synth texture during the bridge of 'The Death of My Desire'.
