We’ve all got one: the old phone in a drawer we can’t quite bring ourselves to throw out. For the latest from Heavy Duty UK, Vinted asked us to score the worst-case scenario that plays out in your head every time you think about finally letting it go. We centred analogue synths to echo the devices, giving it an 8-bit, old-school digital feel.
The power, struggle, and fortitude required for real investigative journalism in 2026 is something to celebrate. We are incredibly proud to have provided the music and sound design for The Washington Post’s timely new campaign by Uncommon Creative Studio.
We teamed up with DNA&Stone on a new spot for Art of Problem Solving. For kids who have fun doing challenging things, we composed a score that builds without ever letting up. More impossible, please.
Class is in session! Thanks to Crispin for tapping us to music supervise Target’s ‘Return to Target’ social spot. We paired the work with Sjowgren’s “Seventeen” for pure back-to-school energy.
Adulting just got easier thanks to 72andSunny LA’s new CarMax campaign. We provided the bright and playful score for “How To Sell Your Car”…the perfect soundtrack to having your life together.
New original music for 72andSunny! We kick it old school with an anthem for Foot Locker – a brand that’s always been there, outfitting generations from the playground to the stadium, and everywhere in between. Then. Now. Always.
