Artist
Working for a Nuclear Free City. English band from Cheshire, named after a sign in Manchester, formed in 1999 around producer Phil Kay and guitarist Gary McClure. Krautrock, shoegaze, electronica and neo-psychedelia, restlessly blended. Their 2006 debut was distilled from some 80 tracks written over six years. 'Kingdom' is on 2007's double album Businessmen & Ghosts. Real-world visibility came when their track 'Dead Fingers Talking' soundtracked the pilot episode of Breaking Bad, with more placements in the film Push and an international trailer for Green Zone. They announced a breakup in 2014, reunited briefly in 2015 and released What Do People Do All Day in 2016.
