Orchestral track with drums and a pop vibe. Shuffling drums, bass guitar and orchestral strings are joined by gentle acoustic guitar for a powerful positive build. Bass break with electronic beats toward the close, before the full band rejoins for a joyful finale. Anthemic and Elbow-esque, suitable for subtly feel-good soundtracks, charity campaigns or longform adverts.

Kids, Knives, Broken Lives (Instrumental)
Distorted synth track. A dramatic, industrial-sounding build followed by broad beats and a heavy synth line. Melodic yet heavy, edgy and cool, this track would suit a tense contemporary thriller, crime drama or urban advert.
Inner City
Industrial hip hop track with effects-laden electric guitar. Chiming, forlorn guitar rings out over a sparse landscape before it is joined by heavy hip hop beats and bass, adding a more upbeat edge to the track. Desolate, thoughtful and slightly angry, bringing to mind the empty streets of a neglected city suburb in the U.S.
I Am Kloot
Shuffling breakbeat and heavy bass synth track. Warm but heavy synth harmonies over a D’n’B beat with added drums and a further minimal, pulsating synth line. Fuzzy, fun and low-key, a summery sound for chilled adverts.
Hoodstar (Instrumental)
Brooding, intense instrumental with electronic samples, synth and hip hop drums. Tense, minimal at times, mysterious and foreboding, leaves us without any answers. Suitable for a tense inner-city investigation on a crime series or film.
Happy Harp
Playful pizzicato strings and double bass play a jaunty, carefree melody. Strings imitate the plucked strings of a harp, in the absence of any actual harp. Fun, hopeful, positive and warm, a slight melodic idea that would be a perfect piece for a short advert or TV interlude.
Guitar Titles
Driving electric guitar-led indie track. Upbeat, uplifting with chiming guitars and steady drums, reminiscent of Naughties indie or an instrumental Wild Beasts. Would suit an advert or a Film/TV sequence propelling us headlong through a landscape or into the heady landscape of love.
V2 has added drums, synth and a fuller, heavier sound.
Fun With Knives
Unsettling, squelchy electronic track with haunting spoken word sample. A strong beat kicks in after the vocal intro with floating synth parts shifting above. Dark but groovy electronic dance. Suitable for slightly supernatural Film/TV or adverts: imagine zombies doing the robot in unison.
Four
Breezy folk track with male and female vocals. Subtle electronics mingle with arpeggiated acoustic guitar and shuffling percussion in this gentle love song. Blissful, dreamy and happy. Halfway through, the sun comes out and this track grows in bleached out intensity and warmth. Suitable for a euphoric, romantic tv or film moment.
Eastern 2
Dramatic instrumental track. Glitchy electronics begin, joined by swooping orchestral strings and, soon after, the instrumentation and percussion reminiscent of a Bollywood soundtrack. Final section moves to a more Spanish guitar sound with the sounds of acoustic guitar and what could be intricate foot taps or castanets. A fusion track that would suit the movement from an intense to a more low key mood on screen.
