A band that built a sound on sharp electronic hooks and Lauren Mayberry's clear, direct voice.
For the shape of their sound, listen to 'The Mother We Share' and 'Clearest Blue'. They frame what the band does well.
They arrived with 'The Mother We Share' in 2013, a song that felt both icy and warm, and it pulled people in from the start. That mix of synth textures and melodic clarity runs through tracks like 'Get Away' and 'Graffiti'. They've kept that core even as they've worked with people like Robert Smith from The Cure.
Lauren Mayberry and Iain Cook started making music together in Glasgow in 2011, with Martin Doherty joining soon after. Their first album, 'The Bones of What You Believe', came out in 2013, and they've released records steadily since, like 'Every Open Eye' and the more recent 'Screen Violence'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
