Psapp

Psapp () is a British experimental electronic music duo. The duo consists of Carim Clasmann and Galia Durant and are sometimes credited with inventing a musical style known as "toytronica", a form of electronic music made with toys and toy instruments. They are also noted for their use of found sounds and homemade instruments, including the meowing of live cats, a "mechanical chicken", and a xylophone-like instrument made of bones they call the "boneaphone". They have released five albums, a Japan exclusive mini-album, Northdown, and five EPs. Psapp composed the song "Cosy in the Rocket", the main theme on the medical-drama TV series Grey's Anatomy, for which they have received multiple BMI awards. Some of their other songs have been used in other American TV shows such as The OC and Nip/Tuck as well as the UK Channel 4 TV show Sugar Rush. In 2015 they were chosen by David Byrne to play at the Meltdown Festival in London. Psapp's fourth album, What Makes Us Glow, was released on 11 November 2013, and their fifth album Tourists, was released on 2 September 2019, both under the label The state51 Conspiracy. Psapp are known for their humour on stage, throwing toy cats (hand-made by the band) into the audience.
