Erratic, high-energy art pop featuring improvised storytelling over thick modular synths. It is dance music for the socially anxious and the creatively restless.
Audiobooks sounds like a fever dream captured in a high-end recording studio. It is a collision between the meticulous, heavy-hitting production of David Wrench and the wild, uninhibited vocal improvisations of Evangeline Ling. One moment you are locked into a driving, industrial-tinged groove, and the next, you are listening to a whispered, surrealist monologue about a strange encounter in a supermarket. The music feels alive, twitchy, and deeply spontaneous.
What truly sets them apart is the sense of character. Ling does not just sing; she inhabits different personas, shifting from a bored socialite to a snarling punk or a vulnerable narrator within a single track. This theatricality is grounded by Wrench's mastery of analog synthesis, providing a bedrock of warm, pulsating electronics that feel both vintage and futuristic. It is music that demands your attention, rewarding listeners who enjoy a bit of chaos with their pop hooks.
Start with the album Astro Tough. It perfectly encapsulates their range, moving from the infectious, danceable energy of 'LaLaLa It's the Good Life' to the darker, more abrasive corners of their sound. It is an ideal entry point for anyone who likes their electronic music with a heavy dose of personality and a complete lack of predictability.
