restless and direct, dissonant and infectious, 'Striped' is DIY laptop music of a vividly multi-faceted stripe.

a controlled cacophony of distorted riffs, organ wheeze, tumbling drums, shiny synths, scrunchy samples and more: essentially, indie-pop self-reflection taken to the funfair of ’60s psychedelic exploration with a bedroom-load of modern tech. 

naked in its sonic imperfections, immersive in its detailed evocations of environment, the album reflects the home-recorded circumstances of its gestation even as it reaches out to new horizons. between noise and melody, introversion and extroverted sound, the result is a thrillingly distinct and searching vision, willed into exuberant, honest-to-goodness being.
