Mixing 80s synths with classic pop backbeats, the first full-length album from Britain’s Beats for Beginners is a brand of electro-pop Nintendo-groove that is part Air, part Postal Service. Their live show of synth players, guitars, bass and drums has gained them fans from around the world and found them rotation on many a mainstream radio station.

What the press is saying:

"With so much attention being paid to the 80s at the moment, it's of no surprise that ears are turning in the direction of Beats For Beginners, purveyors of the finest electro pop in Manchester at the moment."
— BBC

"a fine slice of dreamy electronic alt-pop....a lovely record that juxtaposes a feelgood flavour with a hedonistic streak."
— The Independent, 26 June 2004 (single of the week)

"imagine if Cosmic Rough Riders and Athlete had swapped ideas with Syd Barrett before the breakdown, then double your expectations."

"Surprisingly tender electronic indie-pop crossover"
— NME
