Sour-Pop

About Me

Team Turnip is an indie-pop outfit based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Some of the recordings on this page were recorded at home by me using some jiggery-pokery and a lap-top. Look out for some limited edition CDs appearing over the course of the next few months, all recorded at home on the laptop, but nonetheless, being of good quality lo-fi sound, if those words aren't mutually exclusive.
