Based in Sydney Australia, Grids & Dots is the melodic noise project of visual designers Daniel Handaru and Carmen Minikus, with 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 tries 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.

After a few critically acclaimed singles which showcase their songwriting and shoegaze-driven vibe with 'The Great Divide' and the reimagined Nick Drake tune 'Hazey Jane', Grids & Dots are ready to unleash their debut EP 'Someone mentioned today..', which combines their love of sonic noise and gorgeous male / female harmonies together for a style of music that the Aussie indie scene hasn't heard for quite some time.

"As powerful as it is mesmerising, both the song and video from Grids & Dots are a masterclass in arresting content, and truly set them apart as one of the most exciting bands to watch on the Aussie music scene."

- Tyler Jenke, Tonedeaf

"Sydney trio Grids & Dots make the kind of melodic shoegaze that has a lush, dreamy warmth to it while remaining dynamic and exciting, never getting lost down a rabbit hole of reverb." 

- Alex Gallagher, Musicfeeds

"For fans of dream-pop acts like Beach House and Real Estate, Grids & Dots is certain to scratch a similar itch. There’s just something comforting and warm about their sound, like watching a summer sunset."

- Elliott Simpson, Louder than War UK
