London's eclectic one-man band Tom Vek combines electronic music with indie rock, punk with dance, and influences like new wave and garage. Vek had been sending his music to a friend of the family (Alex Cooper, longtime drummer for Katrina & the Waves), who in turn sent Vek's latest, electronica-inspired music to his cousin (Tim "Love" Lee, head of quirky electronic label Tummy Touch). Lee signed Vek to the label, and in 2001 the 7" "There's Only One Thing Left Now" became Vek's first officially released work. Tummy Touch agreed to release a full-length from Vek, which he began working on in between his graphic design studies at St. Martins. However, Vek's music had morphed again, moving from delicate electronica to something sharper-edged and more rock-based. Vek's debut album, We Have Sound, was released in the U.K. in 2005. After touring in support of the album, Vek took his time making further music. He found a recording space in East London and established PALLET Recording Studios, taking three years to fill it with custom gear and teach himself new production techniques, and another two years to write and record music. Vek resurfaced in 2011 with his second album, Leisure Seizure. When Vek was evicted from PALLET to make way for more housing, he took an even more independent approach to 2014's Luck, recording the album entirely on his own.
