ROUNDS
"Rounds certainly aren’t the only new act intent on breaking into an ambient electro market dominated by the likes of Gold Panda, Burial and Mount Kimbie; but few other young pretenders are doing it with such an acute understanding of human emotion and subtlety." - The Line Of Best Fit
"A sure thing for fans of indie electronic bands LCD Soundsystem and Chromatics" - Indie Underrated
BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from Southend-On-Sea, Essex, Rounds comprises Robert Cooper (vocals, synths), Ashley Kemp (drums, samplers), Andrew Chapman (guitars, synths), and Andrew McGarrigle (bass). Their sonic alchemy intertwines vocals, electronics, and live instruments, resulting in an unparalleled fusion of indie vibes and pulsating basslines. Rounds has been making waves since their 2013 'Falter' EP, gaining recognition across Radio 1, 6 Music, and Radio X.
Their debut album 'We’ve Met Before,' released in 2017 under the Blind Colour label, solidified their presence. Notably, their haunting track "Die Dreaming," described as a "Radiohead-like tune with a dark but ambient tone" by Indie Shuffle, earned an unlikely spot on the soundtrack of Australia's beloved TV soap, 'Home And Away.'
