About Me

Things are not what they seem. In a world obsessed with straight lines, polish, the easy, the perfect mass appeal experience, Spooks is about wallowing in ambiguity, embracing obscurity, seeing pretty in ugly. It is an experiment in the inexact. It is about disturbing movement at the edge of vision. Notes that don't belong. Or do they? Secrets hiding in plain sight. Slurs that endear. The underclass that provides foundation for everything constructed atop it. Simple sounds in complex layers. Complex arrangements in simple compositions. Raw stones left in dirt, unspoiled by gem seekers. Discordance that comforts. Harmony that disturbs. The shockingly mundane. Spooks is about being a band that's not.

Sounds Like: Guitar driven, multi-layered, atmospheric tunes, cryptic twists, odd counterpoints, unsettling noises, pulsing bass and rhythms. Stories of ambiguous characters seen through the eye of the cynic. Think: Donald Fagen, Ian Dury, John Irving, Chuck Palahniuk and George Clinton go Joan Rivers over Chivas at a science fiction convention in South Beach. Bring your tired and your poor, your huddled masses, your weird and bizarre.
