Insect Guide is an enigmatic band that adeptly blends elements of shoegaze, dark pop, and electronica to create their own distinctive sound. Originating in Leeds, UK, they emerged in the mid-2000s with a sonic aesthetic marked by ethereal vocals, swirling guitars, and an atmospheric production style. The core duo consists of Su Sutton on vocals and Stan Howells on guitar and electronics, both of whom contribute to the band's creative vision and its haunting, immersive soundscapes.
Over the years, Insect Guide has carved out a niche within the indie music scene, cultivated through a series of releases that showcase their evolution and experimentation. Their body of work includes the introspective "6ft in Love" and the eclectic "Dark Days & Nights," both of which emphasize the band's flair for moody, melodic compositions. Their record "5 O'Clock Recordings" offers listeners a collection of raw, stripped-back tracks, providing a contrast to their more produced works. Notable among their collaborations is the "Insect Guide vs Gen BZY" release, which exemplifies their willingness to explore new creative partnerships. As they continue to release music, such as "A Lonely Pool" and "Move Your Mind," Insect Guide remains a compelling act, attracting fans with their uniquely brooding yet captivating sound.
