Man Without Country are an electronic duo from Wales but sound more like they’re of Scandinavian persuasion such is the sleekness of their synthetic computer pop.
Taking their props from (previous collaborators) Royksopp, the dreaminess of Sigur Ros and the more DIY electronic attacks of East India Youth, Ryan James and Tomas Greenhalf have won over electronic fans with their ambitious, experimental sounds.
Second album Maxmium Entropy was recorded, produced and mixed entirely by the band in their home studios in South Wales and manages to distill their love for ambience and more hectic night time activities across its whole.
Laws of Motion is the biggie, featuring vocals from Morgan Kibby (M83 and White Sea) while they’ve also reimagined the Beloved’s Sweet Harmony for a new generation of blissed out clubbers. They’ve got previous with an ace debut and remixes for the likes of Band of Skulls and Interpol. Get to know them in our 30 seconds interview…
We first started writing music because…
We thought it was a good idea at the time. Now it's a compulsion!
We have been making music since…
It’s hard to say exactly when, but we’ve been making it seriously since our late teens.
Our music is…
Often, but not always, electronic, dark and atmospheric.
You'll like our music if you listen to…
The National, Blonde Redhead, Röyksopp, M83, Clark, The Postal Service, John Grant, The Knife etc.
Our favourite venue is…
Paris Olympia.
Music is important because…
It makes life more bearable.
Our biggest inspiration is…
Travelling and meeting new people.
Our dream collaboration would be…
Brian Eno.
