Psapp (/ˈsæp/ or /ˈpsæp/) is a British experimental electronica band.[1] The band, a duo consisting of Carim Clasmann and Galia Durant, are sometimes credited with inventing a musical style known as toytronica, a form of electronica made with toys and toy instruments. They are also noted for their use of found sounds and homemade instruments, including the meowing of live cats, a "mechanical chicken", and a xylophone-like instrument made of bones they call the "boneaphone".[2][3][4] They have released five albums, a Japan Exclusive Mini-Album, Northdown, and five EPs.

In 2015 they were chosen by David Byrne to play at the Meltdown Festival in London.[8]
