Filthy Dukes – Nonsense in the Dark (often mistaken as Messages due to its standout single) is the debut LP from the London electronic trio, released in 2009 on Fiction Records. The album channels the energy of late-2000s electro and synth-pop, mixing analogue warmth with club-ready beats and a playful experimental edge.

With tracks like “Messages,” “This Rhythm,” and “You Better Stop,” the record fuses dancefloor sensibility with melodic songwriting, echoing influences from Hot Chip and Depeche Mode. Sleek, stylish, and full of pulsing synth layers, it’s a modern electro-pop gem that bridges indie cool with dance energy — a must for collectors of the era’s underground electronica scene.
