About
Glasgow trio Lauren Mayberry, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty. Mayberry's voice over Cook and Doherty's icy synths — 'The Bones of What You Believe' (2013) was synth-pop's quiet revival in a guitar-band city, and 'Every Open Eye' and 'Love Is Dead' kept the streak going. The 2021 'Screen Violence' record (with Robert Smith of The Cure on the title track) was a horror-movie-inspired pivot. One of the best synth-pop bands of their decade and one of the most articulate young voices in modern pop on questions of online misogyny.
