Praise for Pilot:

‘Wonderful record … Doug has a beautiful symmetry to his lyric writing ... it’s grabbed me by the heart a few times this record’

Guy Garvey (BBC 6 Music)

‘Bubbling with low key pastoral tension … bounds through amber meadows of desire’

Spenser Tomson (The Wire)

‘Building from soundtrack vibes to rustic folk, it’s a thoughtful, addictive sonic adventure that will hook the alert listener’

Miniseries are a five-piece formed in London by musicians whose paths cross through Longview, The Magic Numbers and The Dials. Channeling the widescreen sweep of film soundtracks and television themes through guitar pop, folk, motorik rhythms and analogue electronics, the band make songs that move between the intimate and expansive.

Songwriter Doug Morch (Longview) met Angela Gannon (The Magic Numbers) at Glastonbury in 2017, beginning both a relationship and a musical collaboration. Guitarist and songwriter Dermot Watson (The Dials), drummer Danny Abbasi and Morch’s former bandmate Aidan Banks subsequently completed the line-up.

Miniseries have built a growing live reputation, playing shows across the UK including multiple dates supporting The Magic Numbers, alongside appearances at Truck, Wood, Septembersong, Cro Cro Land and 7 Hills Festivals. In spring 2026 the band staged their first five-date headline tour. Their live shows bring the more expansive recorded moments to the stage whilst retaining the intimacy at the heart of the songs.

Their debut album Pilot was recorded with producer Sean Read at Edwyn Collins’ Clashnarrow Studio in the Scottish Highlands with closing track May You Always recorded at Blueprint Studios in Salford with Elbow’s Craig Potter.

Released on the band’s own Rips Music label, Pilot drew support from BBC 6 Music’s Guy Garvey, John Kennedy at Radio X and Dermot O’Leary at BBC Radio 2 alongside coverage from The Wire, Record Collector and Klof Mag.

Miniseries are currently working on their second album with Sean Read in London. The new record expands on the band’s soundtrack-inspired sound while pushing into new territory and is due for release in spring 2027.
