Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell have been making lean, guitar-and-drums records since 2004.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'Cold' or 'It's Getting Boring By The Sea', they're all lean noise and Carter's vocals cutting through.
They've stuck to a straightforward indie rock sound built for live energy, with songs like 'The Silence And The Drones' showing how their guitar-and-drums setup works. Their second album 'Fire Like This' included 'God Complex,' which helped them reach listeners outside the UK. Even after Ansell's Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis in 2012, they've kept recording and touring without shifting genres or chasing trends.
They formed in Brighton in 2004 and released their first album 'Box of Secrets' in 2008. Since then, they've put out albums fairly steadily, from 'In Time to Voices' in 2012 to 'Ghosts on Tape' in 2022.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
