I won’t go into a Pet Shop Boys biography here, because there are plenty of other places online where you can read about them and how they got started. My interest in design stemmed from observing how they calculate their image and brand. (So much so, that in 2006 they released Catalogue, documenting their contributions to design.) They have primarily worked with the same graphic designer for the entirety of their career - his name is Mark Farrow - and collectively they have created some of the most impressive and iconic graphic work that has ever been seen in the music industry. Pet Shop Boys are meticulous about their image, and they have always been extremely focused on design.

A full list of artists is listed further below on this page. In terms of collaborations, they have worked with some of the biggest names in music. I have always been fanatical about their remixes, and they have used an extraordinary array of talent. Chris Lowe’s melodies are catchy, intense, and timeless, and he yearns to capture the feeling of euphoria in each and every song (even melancholic euphoria). Neil Tennant is an incredible songwriter his lyrics range from the simplest of singalong pop tunes to complex historical references. And, of course, they are the most successful UK pop duo ever with over 50 million records sold. Billboard Magazine ranks them the 5th most successful dance act ever only Madonna, Janet Jackson, Rihanna, and Beyonce have hard more hits on the US dance charts. They have continued to be revolutionary with every release, and, like Depeche Mode, have influenced countless DJs and dance music acts.
They were cutting edge in the 1980s with their synth-pop style, which has only evolved over time.
Pet Shop Boys music is the perfect union of pop, art, dance, electronics, lyrics, wit, energy, style, irony, happiness, politics, love, and sadness.
