The music of The Ransom Dance is the sound of bare bone guitars, drums & vocals burnt onto 2" 24 track analogue tape. Although they don’t repudiate the digital format altogether, the sound of their music is the kind of stuff that can only be produced by those pulsating valve driven machines which defined the sound of seminal underground rock records. Some have compared the sound of The Ransom Dance to a blend of British shoegaze and New York post-punk, but it would probably be best to make your own mind up.
