Index for Working Musik

Index for Working Musik emerged from the depths of an East End bunker in 2023 as a Tough Love recording unit, releasing the striking debut Dragging the Needlework for the Kids at Uphole, a “Heroin Country” affair, soon followed by the experimental, Indexe’e.

2024 saw the release of Purple Born, an 8-minute track that channels the likes of John Fahey and Polvo—leather boys, leather girls, and silly cuckoo clocks—and served as the first signal of second album​, 2025's Which Direction Goes The Beam​ –– 'The Londoners' ritualistic second offers arcane, post-industrial Anglicana, with guitars as its sacrament' –Uncut

April 2026 saw the release of Bunker Intimations II, a sister record to their ​sophomore. The 50-minute long collection of recordings was made across an intense three day period in March ‘25 under the duress of a very strict deadline. All tracks were improvised and mixed-down on the spot, a genuine document of a moment in time. This understated release made its mark with those listening, The Guardian noting 'a brilliant, haunting set of recordings, lurking between hypnotic space rock and creaking post-rock instrumentals'.

Index have spent 2026 between the bunker and stage, continuing the work on the narrative which is soon to be revealed, in the form of their next offering.
