Hanging Freud is a Glasgow based production duo of Paula Borges and Jonathan Skinner. As a duo they combine their somewhat nomadic past with multicultural backgrounds of coming from Sao Paulo (Brazil) and London (UK), into a body of work that is more often than not described as uncompromising and somewhat defiant to these pidgeonholed buzzword references that get passed around. 

Throughout their career, they have played around with all sorts of sounds with structures, ranging from straightforward melodic verse chorus verse to claustrophobic and dense ambient workouts, minimalism and repetition.

Hanging Freud themes approach multilayered subjects with contradictory and emotional aims. Sounds and words often combine as one.

They run and manage their own imprint Tiny Box which houses most Hanging Freud material and additional solo projects.
