Whitney et Schumacher



Whitney et Schumacher make electro pop music of the kind that Thom Yorke would have made if he had an Asbo. Songs constructed of squelchy synths, bargain-bin basslines and lyrics that are cobbled together ala Joanna Newsom make an for an alluring listen. Mind Showers is a syncopated rally-cry to the mentally unhinged distilled through a love of Aphex Twin, UKG, and Nerd-Rap. Complex in its execution and arrangement, yet still maintaining a rhythm and flow that is catchy and memorable. Whitney et Schumacher make music in Crawley. The sort of English town where nothing happens. Ever. But with songs like Back to 85 they trancend the doldrums of the place they call home, firmly putting Crawley on the musical map.
Below is an exclusive track they remixed for the podcast. A wonderfully booming re-fix of the great Jackson C. Frank. Keep your ears, eyes and even your fucking legs out for forthcoming debut LP Why Race The Music? For now enjoy these...
