My Computer are an English indie pop band from Manchester, England. Formed by Andrew Chester and David Luke, their music has been described as "a bold, fearless approach to pop music", "bleak at times", and "a perfect snapshot of modern British life". Their second album, No CV (2005, Gut), was produced by John Leckie.
