What their label says...

Rob Lee is an adaptable young man. He plays bass and percussion for Friendly Fires, drums for Warp legend Chris Clark, and under the name Wax Stag he makes glistening leftfield pop using synthesizers and lots of imagination.
The debut ‘Short Road EP’ 10” was a favourite with everyone from Hot Chip and MTV2 to clued-up bloggers and more adventurous disc jockeys, and this carries on where ‘Short Road’ left off.
•‘Short Road’ begins proceedings here, opening the doors of the sonic wardrobe out onto a sparkling, woozy little world of instrumental narratives with a wide eyed spread of moods and emotions drifting out of each lead line, each wordless song. From the relative dissonance and uptempo energy of ‘Descant’ to the wistful ‘Fantasy Gay’, the pastoral, analogue psychedelia of ‘Glenferrie’ to the exultant chords and skittering 909 claps of ‘The Wash’, ‘Wax Stag’ runs on towering slabs of rolling melodies and shimmering arpeggios – it’s exultant and introspective, full of lysergic lullabies and themes from a benevolent future. A debut album from one of the more interesting musicians to have emerged from the brave new world of indie / dance in the last couple of years
