...a volatile duo from Denton, TX with a multi-disciplinary sound that spans across a vast musical spectrum.

...a volatile duo from Denton, TX with a multi-disciplinary sound that spans across a vast musical spectrum. From roots music to abstract progressive rock to soul to ambient soundscapes, you become contently spellbound with a colorful musical aftertaste by a sound much greater than the sum of its parts (live shows: vocals, guitar, and drums). Ryan and Grady intermittently played in bands together for seven years before developing this project.

You got vocals that are reminiscent of Jeff Buckly, though I am sure that Ryan would balk at the comparison. The music owes more than a passing nod to Stax style Memphis R and B at times, Hendrix at others, and maybe too cool for school noise a la The Pixies or Dinosaur Jr at others. You have got to go to know. Soul nourishing...."
