Githead

Githead is an English alternative rock band formed in 2004. The band comprises members from other notable musical projects: Colin Newman (Wire), his wife Malka Spigel (Minimal Compact), Robin Rimbaud (Scanner), and Matthew Simms (Wire).

The group is known for its experimental and often densely layered sound, drawing influences from post-punk, art rock, and electronic music. Their music typically features strong basslines, atmospheric textures, and Newman's distinctive vocals, often exploring themes of urban life, technology, and personal relationships.

Githead has released several albums and EPs on Swim ~, a record label founded by Newman and Spigel. These releases have generally received positive reviews for their originality and sonic depth. The band occasionally tours, performing live sets that emphasize the dynamic and improvisational aspects of their music.
