ABOUT THIS BAND

Mylar, a three piece comprising of Tom Short (Vocals, Bass, Keys) Tom Clark (Guitar, Synth) and Robert Janke (Drums, Vocals), were originally drawn together - via scheming pints at South London pubs - by a mutual love of alternative 80s pop records of The Cure, XTC, The Blue Nile.

Inspired by the mysterious lyrical narratives explored by these influences - “Where everything in music now feels extremely literal and diaristic”- their latest clutch of new material duly provides a sequence of melancholic care-worn tales, addressing each song to their listener with the intimacy of confession, and also the timelessness of a cautionary tale. Approaching the studio with a cheeky experimentalism, and drive for succinct, catchy art-pop statements, the rawness of emotion held in the songs is balanced by music a light, familiar, and welcoming hue.

Their new single Scribbled Sunset is out now, a forthcoming EP Lost In the Shuffle is out on April 16th.
