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 genre defying.
Throughout their career, they have played around with all sorts of sounds with structures ranging from straightforward melodic verse chorus verse to claustrophobic, dense, ambient workouts, cold minimalism and repetition.
Hanging Freud themes approach dark multilayered subjects, it's contradictory, emotional and aims to combine sound and lyric as one.
They run their own imprint Tiny Box which homes all Hanging Freud and additional solo projects.
