What their label says...

DAVID THOMAS BROUGHTON — His love-lorn loops echo around railway arches and mobile phones, awkward bodies and infinite imaginations

DIRTY PROJECTORS — The band your subconscious has been waiting for, updating the interpretation of dreams with fantasy art and otherworld music that sprawls from classical to rock to whatever

MOUNT VERNON ARTS LAB — In the first of an occasional series on our favourite musical mavericks and visionaries who seem to exist in a parallel universe of slipstream sounds, Plan B tracks down Glasgow's one-man radiophonic workshop, Drew Mullholland: psychogeographer, noisemaker and head technician of the newly reopened Mount Vernon Arts Lab
