We are currently recording our second album with
Michael Deming, Studio 45.
Formed in 2005, Matthew writes the songs, SPG arranges, we rehearse, we gig, we record. Our melodies may remind you of Elvis Costello, or Belle and Sebastian. Our vocal harmonies are inspired by the likes of Brian Wilson and the Zombies. Our music is elegant like these artists', but more raw and elemental. We hit it hard, both live and in the studio.
