Based in Sydney Australia, Grids & Dots is the melodic noise project of visual designers Daniel Handaru and Carmen Minikus, with Saskia Clapton on bass, Elias Khoury on keys and Pat Hisshion on drums. Trying to capture the sound of their busy inner-city lives with snippets of melody and romance, principal songwriter Daniel is trying to find visual smidgens of his life in a jumble of fruit-salad poetry and quirky observations about the everyday.

Influenced by both 80s synth-pop sense of harmonies, detuned guitars and the noise drenched shoegaze bands of the later decade, Grids & Dots try to balance melody with a reverb-saturated impressionistic sense of the cities they live in, by pushing the boundaries of indie pop with an experimental fringe.
