Angus Finlayson produces inventive, left-field club tracks and exploratory home-listening material as Minor Science. He first appeared during the 2010s with a series of acclaimed singles that are often deep and spacious, with intricate beats, sudden vocal interjections, and heavy, unexpected bass drops, as on the 2017 track "Volumes." He released his ecstatic yet reflective debut album, Second Language, in 2020. Finlayson is also a notable DJ, with mixes alternating between club bangers and ambient abstractions. Developing his experimental project Absent Friends from collage-like sets to live performances consisting of original material, he released the studio full-length Absent Friends, Vol. 3 in 2023.
