Spike is the synth-pop project of Hannah McLoughlin. Spike’s self-titled debut album builds on a tradition of idiosyncratic British synth-pop, bringing to mind the cold-yet-intimate work of Rose McDowall, Chris & Cosey and Fad Gadget.
Spike embraces McLoughlin’s talent for songcraft, merging undeniable hooks with a deep knowledge of leftfield synth music. Throughout these ten tracks, she moves between melancholic dream pop, wiry synth-punk, hauntological textures and hypnagogic city-pop.You can sample all of this on her self-titled debut album released in July.
Embrace the brightness of Spike’s synth pop at Sŵn this year.
