Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt is a Brooklyn-based indie duo known for their offbeat charm and lo-fi, genre-blurring sound. Formed in the late 2000s by multi-instrumentalists Paul Quattrone (also of Thee Oh Sees) and Jessie Conklin, the band crafts playful, DIY tunes that mix jangly guitars, wobbly synths, and conversational lyrics about everything from mundane errands to existential musings. Their recent releases like *one year diary* and *Epiglottis Flap* showcase their signature blend of post-punk grooves, psychedelic quirks, and lyrics that feel like inside jokes with the listener. Whether they're riffing on snack foods or dissecting modern ennui in tracks like *Sometime in the Last Few Years*, Ancient Egypt turns life's little oddities into oddly catchy anthems.
