to my boy

to my boy is an electropop duo consisting of jack snape and sam white , who originate from chesterfield and liverpool respectively .
they met whilst both members were undergraduate students at durham university , and are currently based in liverpool .
they have toured with jakobínarína and released the album , `` messages '' -lrb- co-produced by james ford -rrb- in 2007 , as well as several singles .
the nme described their music around this time as ranging ` from ultra-modern synth pop into brilliantly overblown camp '80s electro ' .
fitting with their electronic sound , their lyrics mainly deal with future technology and other science fiction themes .
to my boy 's second album , `` the habitable zone '' , was released on 31 may 2010 on their own label .
it was described by gigwise as a ` more accomplished ' album , in which they ` moved away from science fiction / futuristic themes to more organic , earth based lyrics . '
