In 2017, Shakespeare began the “Housediet” series of monthly digital-only EP releases, taking fully improvised sessions working on his own modular systems, drum machines and processed vocals to comment on relevant current affairs and other political issues. This revised semi-industrial synth-pop sound caught the ear of Peter Rehberg at Editions Mego, who released “Domestic Economy” in early 2019, a collection of reworked tracks from a year’s worth of “Housediet” EPs. More recently,

Shakespeare has toured the UK as support for synth-pop originators, Blancmange, as well as working on new material for a second LP.

”The debut album from Bristol musician and synth builder Finlay Shakespeare is a wild and restless triumph” – The Quietus
