Fans of bands such as Mazzy Star, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Sneaker Pimps, Sinéad O’Connor, Cocteau Twins, Cowboy Junkies, Cranes, Velvet Underground should really check this great new band out!

The sound is pop; sensual, dark brooding, with a fragile and intense female vocal over stark guitars, intelligent electronica, and beautiful string arrangements.

The tracks are all recorded in Australia at Graham’s and Adrianna’s by Robbie Rowlands and the fakes and mastered at Crystal Mastering House – Melbourne by John Roberto.

Produced and engineered by Robbie Rowlands (Morning After Girls, 1200 Techniques, The Fauves, 16mm…)
