We make angry, shouty feminist pop music in Scotland.

Emerging from Edinburgh’s underground, electronic duo Chuchoter blend gripping pop vocal melodies with precise, striking synthesis. Inspired by a mix of modern Pop and Disco their deep-soul vocals, strong, self-assured lyrics and dirty production create a fresh sound with a club focus. Hailing from rural Aberdeenshire they grew up on James Taylor, The Smiths and Hall and Oates, but have strayed far from their original influences, now leaning towards artists such as Bossy Love, Shamir, Chvrches and Jamie xx. The band is a qualified pop effort made up of vocalist Emily Smith and producer Owen McAllister, both having studied Music at the University of Edinburgh with a goal of creating pop music which is both accessible and stimulating. Emily is in her final year of study and Owen is now a freelance audio engineer in Edinburgh. Having self-released a debut EP and played a plethora of shows, (including an impressive support slot for international rising stars Kllo) the band is now moving on to release their second EP. Their single, “Pieces,” is a dramatic showcase of the group’s compositional ability: climactic and driven, whilst maintaining its subtleties. The song combines a reminiscent citation of retro synthesis, coupled with aspects of glitch music. The track is consistently sonically interesting, without sacrificing any of its emotive drive, resulting in an anthemic single that has something for everyone from electronic music buffs to fans of center-field pop music. With various upcoming shows (including Electric Fields 2018) and the final EP release, Chuchoter prove themselves a promising Scottish newcomer, and one to watch in 2018.
