About Me

Originally known as Earwig, Insides comprised singer/bassist Kirsty Yates and guitarist/programmer Julian Tardo. Released by 4AD imprint Guernica, their 1993 debut Euphoria was a glacial soundworld of eerie electronics and dispassionate vocals, cradling brutally candid lyrics.The following year's Clear Skin was their 4AD swansong: a limited edition, one-track CD featuring a 38-minute instrumental. The pair later re-emerged on the Third Stone label. (4AD.com)Sweet Tip released in 2000 was an experiment in moving the electronic repetition into a more improvised played style. Still some nice moments though.Newer material does exist, but work just gets in the way. We have our own commercial recording studio in Hove where Julian does production and engineering for a variety of bands.
