Parenthetical Girls
Parenthetical Girls (formerly The Swastika Girls) is a highly experimental band that were flirting with orchestral pop, but have now moved on to a more restrained, electronic composition. Older works were mainly bells and buzzing. Their only consistency is the presence of Zac Pennington and his marvellous lyrics.

- Peaceful in Death: The Weight She Fell Under
- Suicide Pact: "The Four Platitudes"
- Textless Album Cover: Entanglements, (((Grrls))), & Safe As Houses
- Twisted Christmas: Flowers For Albion, in particular.
