Sydney Minsky Sargeant is a British songwriter, musician and singer, best known as the frontman of the electro and post-punk group Working Men’s Club. Alongside that role, he also pursues a solo career under his own name.

Solo work

His solo album Lunga marks the beginning of his parallel solo activity. The record is built around acoustic guitars and a more introspective approach than his work with Working Men’s Club. It is described through panoramic folk songs with haunting melodies and a generally calm, melancholic tone.

Style

His music in this setting is associated with folk, americana and indie pop, and is centred on songwriting and vocals rather than the synth-led sound of his band work.
