A London trio whose unconventional sound and social commentary found its way into films and collaborations with artists like Thom Yorke.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'Tarantulas' or '2002 (The Hook Is a Prayer).' Those tracks show the electro-disco meeting ambient and trip-hop elements they're known for.
Their debut album 'Fear Is the Mind Killer' arrived in 2003, setting the tone for a sound that blends electro-disco with ambient textures. Tracks like 'Tarantulas' and '2002 (The Hook Is a Prayer)' show that mix in action. They've kept at it with songs like 'Whore of Babylon' and 'Brave New World,' maintaining a particular electronic blend that's found a following.
The band formed in London in the early 2000s with Eleanor Jane on vocals, Mark Lane on keyboards and production, and Daniel Carter on drums. After 'Fear Is the Mind Killer,' they put out records like 'The Age of Reason' and 'The Eternal Now' over the next few years. Their music has appeared in films and television, and they've worked with artists including Thom Yorke and Brian Eno.
