Splitting hairs – Indie Rock, Electronic Music & DIY Production
Splitting hairs is a Cambridge-based artist who embodies the true spirit of independent musicianship, taking complete creative control of every aspect of their work. As a multi-talented producer, writer, and performer, they craft their distinctive sound from their home studio, where meticulous attention to detail meets raw artistic vision.
Drawing inspiration from influential acts like Bright Eyes, Elliott Smith, and the Pixies, while incorporating elements of electronic music, Splitting hairs has developed a unique sonic palette that bridges indie rock sensibilities with atmospheric synth textures. Their approach to production is notably expansive, layering guitars to create wide, immersive soundscapes and recording in live spaces to capture authentic room ambience, even incorporating subtle field recordings that add an almost imperceptible energy to their tracks.

Splitting hairs – “Dark Magic”: Indie Rock and British Pop-Rock
Splitting hairs go back with “Dark Magic,” a melodic indie musical that wraps British pop-rock charm around an alt-rock heartbeat. From the moment of the hole, the music draws you in with a warm, polished sound that feels melancholy and clean. The interaction between female and male voices is a highlight, as the mood of the two voices changes and harmonies are mixed to enhance the refrain and reward repeated listening to the same musical form.
What makes “Dark Magic” appealing is its consistency. The melodies are catchy without feeling forced, the guitars upload enough area to keep the electricity alive, and the production leaves room for the vocals to shine Each element is carefully crafted, but the music in no way loses its natural, heartfelt feel. Fans of indie rock and alternative pop will discover a crowd to like here, and everyone looking for fresh British expertise must upload this song to their playlists Splitting hairs has created something memorable, and I’m excited to hear what they do next.
