Lab-coat wearing lo-fi popsters, supplying small town melancholia, to anyone with five minutes to spare.
Brought together by a shared love of car boots sales, robots, Daniel Johnston and the mid-range audio frequencies. An eclectic mix of lo-fi pop, downbeat and experimental electronica in the vein of Grandaddy, Leonard Cohen and Add n to (x), if you will.
Originally from the countryside, now residing in uptown Norwich, alto45 release records on their own Happy Capitalist Recordings along with other releases on Sickroom GC, Robots and Electronic Brains, NROne, Howlback/Mummy Where's The Milkman and MQ Projects.
"Like Graham Coxon doing rudies with the Postal Service" NME
"Quietly, underwhelmingly excellent" Damn Pest Fanzine
"Casio-esque interstellar synth-fi to slow, lulling indie-scapes" Drowned In Sound
