Kaye? Polopop? WHO?

Let me introduce myself. I am Kaye Brewster, aka Kaye, aka Polopop. Why do I use two names? Because I'm swept by conflicting musical moods and it doesn't seem fair to subject the people who enjoy my dreamy soothing celtic sounds, to my demonically trivial experimental synthpop. (And vice-versa of course). So once you discover which me is you, you can relax and listen in sheer, uncontaminated pleasure.

Absolutely me

I live in Edinburgh and record all this music in my spare time when I have any. I don't play live, except when I'm in The Electroluvs which is quite like Polopop in bits. I don't have a record deal because no one seems to want me, but that won't stop me making music, oh no. On my night off, I sit back play violin in the Edinburgh Symphony Orchestra.
