Cigarillo are Marc Garnett, from Brighton, Australia, and Ben White, from Brighton, England. Having grown up in Cornwall together, Marc and Ben formed the band as a way of keeping in touch after Marc relocated to Australia in 2010. Both are veterans of the UK indie scene, with Marc having previously played in the cult indie pop band Roadside Poppies (WeePOP! Records) and Ben operating as the celebrated electronic musician The Organ Grinder's Monkey. Together, they swap sounds over the web to construct a witty encylopedia of classic British pop, including the chamber pop of the 60s, the irony-laden hits of the 70s, the new wave & post-punk of the 80s and the Britpop & electronica of the 90s. The band released three singles on Adelaide's End of the Pier Records in 2021, and will release their debut album Deodorant in 2022.
