Laundromat is the recording moniker of Toby Hayes, melding the motorik grooves of Can, the melodic tendencies of Blur, and a number of lo-fi and experimental sounds into punchy alt-pop that would slot nicely into the BBC 6Music playlist.

A musician who earned his stripes in the DIY scene, Hayes has cultivated a unique sound that nods to The Beta Band at their most tender, with infectious and repetitive melodies and lo-fi longing.

Lyrically the project explores the end of the world, panic attacks at work, political figures, friendship, binge drinking, mental health and the time Hayes got ‘catfished’ – for nearly 7 years.
