How did the band get started?
It started as just Freya and Elias playing as a duo, with Danny recording and mixing our live shows. Then we saw Radiohead live and the Jonny Greenwood factor made Danny realise he’d rather be on stage with us.

An immersive, vocally-driven, audiovisual performance.

Keep an eye on Facebook for more dates.
Tell us about your latest release:
We’re gearing up to release our second single, ‘Mute’, which we wrote and recorded in a very productive couple of months in Sydney just before our move to London. The video was shot in Tokyo, and it’s so exciting to see our song set to visuals of a city we find so inspiring.
Where can I get your music?
iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc.
