Dead Spies are three anonymous boys making unique and captivating music. They take alternative rock to its logical conclusion, using their hands, feet and voices to create a wash of spiky beauty. Aware that all modern music takes place in a hegemonic marketplace, they are nonetheless artists, and hope to capture your hearts with their mournful melodies, twisted harmonies, relentless rhythms and careful words. If you need a touchstone, you may struggle. There is no objective correlative, but you will find the efficiency and cynicism of post-punk, that alt-rock fusion of tunefulness and boundary-pushing, and (increasingly) touches of the wide-eyed expansiveness of contemporary post-rock.

They hope you can find something to latch on to in their world...
