‘The highlight of our afternoon with the experimental sounds of hand-made instruments woven into a fabric of sweet pop melodies and layered, synth lead basslines.’ Joy Zine

Experimental pop duo mishmashing pop, jazz, prog and electronics to bring you ‘strange but lovely’ songs.

Limpet Space Race formed in December 2017 with Niko O’Brien (FR/IT) on percussion/guitar/electronics/clarinet and Hannah ‘Jakes’ Jacobs (UK) on vocals/keys/guitar/various bits and bobs.

Niko and Jakes experiment with homemade instruments and electronics, math pop and prog influences, and have even built a spinning surround sound system. They like to keep things live, not using loops or drums machines, and just having fun with how much noise two people can make. Their first single was released April 2019.

They currently live in Oxford running a recording studio doing sound for music, film and documentaries round the world. They love their local scene and are at the heart of way too many projects: a 3 day music festival, record label, new music venue and gig series, and an international music exchange programme.
