About Me

de trop make sad, pretty noises using guitars, piano, throats, red wine and old broken analogue electronics. these are then recorded onto a fukt hissing 4track and then manipulated into something that barely resembles the original piece. or sometimes it is just left as it is. lo-fi indeed.
de trop have 2 albums and 1 e.p. out just now. you can purchase these releases on cd from amazon.com by clicking on the pictures below. to purchase the release from itunes, click the little itunes logo thingy below the album cover.
"i will just sit and wait until your face leaves my mind..." (2006, skean dhu records)

"elegies for k"
download only e.p. (2005, jzajza records)
"after the water" (2004, skean dhu records)
or click on the logo below to download from itunes...
we are currently working on a new e.p. and a new album to be released sometime this year. there will be live gigs before the album comes out. probably summer time.
