The Haunting Moody Music of Minute Taker

 

If you haven't heard the music of Minute Taker, then you're in for a treat.

Minute Taker is the moniker of British singer-songwriter/producer Ben McGarvey. Previously an office daydreamer, he now spends his hours crafting his emotive, nostalgic songs in his small home studio on the Pennine moors, surrounded by synthesisers, gadgets ... and cats. 

His most recent album was the 80s-inspired synth-pop Wolf Hours; it came out in January 2022 following a successful crowdfunding campaign in which fans pledged a total of £20,000 in support of the release. 

Minute Taker's upcoming 80s-inspired album The Oblivion will be released in 2025.
