"Sovereign" the first single out July 28'th!

About Me


“Sinewy electronic grooves, melodic surefootedness and an existential gloom make Melody Klyman the Cocteau Twins for the i-generation.” - Andy Pemberton (New York Times, Esquire, Blender, Spin, GQ, The Observer, Q, Mojo)
"She baulks at the term "gothic", but at its best her music is like Siouxsie Sioux in a tussle with UNKLE - it's symphonic, strident yet somehow soulful"- Paul Lester (guardian.co.uk)
Ethereal vox meets pulsating synths to create a memorable debut and one which puts her firmly on the map.- Ian Todd (BAD ROBOT)
