Insides

Insides are a South Coast outlier who never fitted neatly into any one 90s UK lane, which is partly why they still feel like a secret. The duo is Kirsty Yates on vocals and bass and Julian Tardo on guitar and programming, formed around Brighton after their earlier project Earwig. They emerged just as British indie was fragmenting into shoegaze, trip hop and post rave afterglow, and they built a version of pop that borrowed the emotional directness of singer songwriting but set it inside loops, samplers and slow motion pulse.
