Formed in 2019 by six friends with backgrounds in classical strings, jazz, hip-hop and do-it-yourself electronics, the band members are George on vocals and guitar, Saskia on violin and vocals, Joe on synth, drum machine, and trumpet, Henry on bass and trumpet, Ari on guitar and Paddy on drums. They refined a startlingly singular palette through long lockdown rehearsals before emerging onto the Naarm circuit in 2023. Their music borrows the spectral patience of the Dirty Three, the trip-hop weight of Massive Attack and the pent-up theatricality that Australian post-punk seems to manufacture in unusual quantities. Songs build slowly. Eruptions, when they come, feel earned.

Earlier singles Buster and Sheet Metal pulled support from BBC 6 Music, METAL, ASBO and the Line of Best Fit, while FBi Radio recently named the group their Independent Artist of the Week.
