Fusing the nostalgic, niche & the ‘nu A.G’. London’s best kept secret is back. Blends on brains off!
This show moves through moods of reflection, longing, and quiet joy, guided by a carefully selected mix of soul, jazz, psych-folk, and cinematic instrumentals. Each track offers a moment of stillness or subtle motion, from the spiritual pulse of Pharoah Sanders to the hazy warmth of Beverly Glenn-Copeland. There're a mix of classic groove and soft-focus melodies that invite you to slow down, listen closely, and sink into a calm, dreamlike state of mind.

screensaver balance frenetic energy with unsettling tonalities to create rhythmic gloom that rides the new wave to the synth-punk.
Spending three years in an incubatory state, the band began as a trans Pacific collaboration between Christopher Stephenson (Spray Paint/Exek) and Krystal Maynard (Bad Vision/ex-Polo) in 2016. By 2019 Christopher had long since relocated to Melbourne and the pair recruited Giles Fielke (ex-Low Tide) and James Beck (Personal Touch/ex Rat Columns) on bass and drums respectively to form screensaver as it exists now.
‘Expressions of Interest’ is the debut album from screensaver, released on Heavy Machinery (AU) and Upset the Rhythm (UK) Records. Sonically, the 10-track album is rich and detailed, and pays homage to its era of inspiration: late 70s-mid 80s post-punk and new wave. From electronic driven krautrock, to post-punk full of tribal toms and dirge-y synths to death-disco style tracks with touches of EDM, Expressions of Interest is an album that is both fierce in attack and worthy of the dancefloor. Maynard’s vocal style is equal parts haunted and commanding, her lyrics exploring themes of social degradation, frustration and repetition, whilst exposing the fragility of our bodies/minds on the whole.
