Blaschko Alley blend 90s indie and electronic influences into textured, atmospheric music that unfolds like a soundtrack without visuals.
Their identity as guitarists runs through the sound - the instrument sometimes rhythm or lead, but more often an effect-laden undercurrent moving against the electronic backdrop.
Formed in Glasgow by Ronan McMacken and Johnny Earlie, the project became a band after relocating to Berlin, where Robi Marcun joined as the third member.
The name draws from the enigmatic Blaschko lines - unseen patterns of change - and the idea of an underground alley where shifting soundscapes spill from hidden spaces as you walk by.
For Blaschko Alley, a title often comes before the music. A phrase caught in passing or pulled from a notebook can feel like more than words - as if it already contains its own world. The combination carries a mood, a place, even a cast of characters, waiting to be heard. The music doesn’t illustrate the words so much as give that world its soundtrack, translating something fleeting and invisible into sound.
