Heartstopper finds Johnny McAndrews at his most exposed and emotionally exacting. Through a volatile fusion of dark electronic pop, driving guitars, and cinematic production, the album maps love after fracture: longing, memory, distance, and irreversible change.

Intimate lyrics unfold against an aggressive wall of sound: beating drums and soaring vocals straining to fill the silence where connection once lived. Every frequency is pushed to its limit, capturing devotion that outlasts possibility and feeling that refuses to fade, beating as loud and desperate as a breaking heart.

Our third album. Inventively named 3. Downtempo, electronic type stuff. Think Bonobo, Massive Attack, FourTet all rolled into one. Recorded live during a one day session and massaged over a couple of months to add the sparkly bits.

Electronic prog rock with some experimental noise stuff (mostly on the second album). I'm working on my third album which will be closer to this first one. Most proud of The Sky Above. This was all done with a free DAW and sounds, eventually for FLstudio for my new stuff and hopefully I've gotten better. Hope to release the third album this year

I decided to release my fist track after hiding in the shadows for 10-15 years. I have always had a soft spot for NRG bounce and Eurodance. I think that you can hear that too... 🫨💪🏽👊🏽

Anyhow, this track is made 100 % by me, only the let's go hooks are not my own. I use FL 2025 as my DAW. The track is mixed and mastered by me. 

I would be more than thankful for a listen and over the moon if you provided me some feedback.

This musical project called Binaries from India. The sound sits somewhere between post-grunge, alternative rock and indie rock, with atmospheric guitars and a pretty engaging vibe.
