Jockstrap: "We're coming at big pop songs from a different angle"
The last twelve months have seen Jockstrap rise from buzzy newcomers to Mercury nominees. Breaking the mould, fusing genres and defying expectations, they’re not done yet.

Jockstrap are an English musical duo comprising Georgia Ellery and Taylor Skye. The members met at London's Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2016. Their music has been described as experimental pop and art pop, featuring Ellery's half-whispered vocals and string arrangements alongside Skye's electronic production. The band signed to Rough Trade Records in 2021, releasing three singles—'50/50', 'Concrete Over Water', and 'Glasgow'—and their debut studio album, 'I Love You Jennifer B', on 9 September 2022. The album received critical acclaim and was nominated for the 2023 Mercury Prize. Taylor Skye also works as a producer, having produced tracks for Slowthai, Injury Reserve, and Sega Bodega. Georgia Ellery is also a member of Black Country, New Road.
