OUTLINE
 

about us

how it started…

Hey! We’re Stan and Macy and we have been working together for over 6 years now as ‘Outline’. We met in school in Brighton when we were 12 and became friends after being made to sit together in class. We made music individually most of our childhood, but then started collaborating on some Taylor Swift covers, a couple of original songs and during a school musical. In 2016, we officially became a duo and have been writing, recording and performing together since.

Our main genre is alternative pop but we also have a lot of folk, rock, and techno influences, and are inspired by musicians such as Laura Marling, NAO, MARINA, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Billie Eilish, Oasis and Halsey. We use songwriting to explore human connection and all our music is home-recorded and produced by Stan. You can find out more here!

throughout past year…

Last year was a game changer. We were lucky enough to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival, as well as winning HOTVOX Future Icon ‘22 which meant a slot at Bingley Weekender!! We released 3 new singles, our most recent being ‘Grape Vapour’ which somehow ended up on Spotify’s Indie Pop playlist. We released a self-made music video for said single, and have been playing it whilst gigging wherever we can. TikTok has helped us reach loads of new incredible supporters and we are so grateful for everything. Can’t wait for new music and more in 2023.

quotes

There’s something remarkable going on with this pair. I’m not entirely sure what, but I do know I wasn’t accomplishing this quality in my teens. The harmonies are remarkable, the arrangements too. Lyrically they are youthfully surreal and they write, play and record it all themselves. People my age like to slag off the music the youth are making these days; it isn’t reflected here at all. This quality of songcraft nouse only improves with time. If they can do this in their mid teens, the future could be positively Bee Gees. Not signed or managed or ‘owt like that. And just a reminder: the last time I bigged up a Brighton teen duo on my FB page they turned out to be Rizzle Kicks

Outline create refreshing and unique indie pop with incredible production values. Their single, Citrus, is no exception. It’s upbeat and filled with ear candy! They’re definitely one to watch this summer!
— Philip Marsden, Philip Marsden Music
A really exciting prospect - teenage duo Outline deliver glorious harmonies that are framed by that rare thing, interesting and original songwriting. It’s been such a pleasure seeing Stan and Macy grow and their sound mature in the last two years.
— Lorraine Solomons, Success Express
I’m really excited for the future of Outline. They are only at the beginning of their music careers but they have already written some great songs which showcase their superb vocals that compliment each other so well both live & on record. They are definitely one’s to watch in the years to come!
