Label GB

Githead is a musical collaboration that includes Wire's Colin Newman as well as electronic musician Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) alongside ex-Minimal Compact members Malka Spigel and Max Franken. Together, they create a unique blend of experimental rock and electronic music.
Their sound draws influences from a wide range of genres, including post-punk, new wave, and electronica. With their intricate guitar work, pulsating rhythms, and haunting vocals, Githead creates a captivating sonic experience that pushes the boundaries of conventional music.
With similarities to artists such as Colin Newman, Malka Spigel, Minimal Compact, and Scanner among others; Githead has carved out their own distinct niche in the music industry. Their innovative approach to songwriting and performance sets them apart from their contemporaries and ensures an unforgettable live show or listening experience for fans.

formed initially as a one-off for the swim label's 10th birthday bash in april 2004, githead quickly established a life and voice of its own. its all star line up comprised of wire's colin newman, robin rimbaud (scanner), and malka spigel and max franken from minimal compact - may have led many to presume that its life would be short, indulgent &amp; acrimonious. far from it. githead, from the outset has always been a band determined to carve out its own identity and to refine its vision through its work. since autumn 2005 the band have been concentrating on writing and recording 'art pop' - their second album. the album, viewed as githead's most fully realised work to date, contains 11 new tracks and features a cover image by malka spigel. 'art pop' brings an emotional depth and breadth which will surprise many; contrast the full-on distorted diatribe on urban existence of 'drive by' (a kind of 'parklife' on crack) with the acoustic emotional nakedness of 'lifeloops' or the joy of an indian summer day captured in 'rotterdam' with the twin voices of darkness and light on 'darkest star'.
