About
In 1986, Modern Art & Cleaners From Venus briefly flickered onto the UK lo-fi scene. Lawrence Elliott, Martin Newell, and Giles Smith spun melodic guitar riffs and introspective lyrics into the magnetic hum of tape-based production. Their singular release, "Souvenir," appeared on Color Disc and Calypso Now — two labels that embraced the DIY ethos. The spectral glow of their sound captured a moment where analog warmth met skeletal arrangements, a fleeting yet precise expression of their time and place.
