About Me

litmus is elektro pop infused with distorted bass, rolling drums and rhythms of rhyming guitars. smart songwriting, joyous melodies and lofi ethics.

litmus songs tend to focus on central issues: love, hate, work, electronics and personal disagreements.

reference points include notwist, schneider tm, turner, the faint, komeït, styrofoam and david kitt.
