Formed over a shared love of Yo La Tengo, inspired by their “ability to make 15 minute noise jams alongside classic pop gems”, exploring the importance of texture and atmosphere alongside melodies.
All members of DIY collective Delicious Clam, where the EP was recorded by Calum and Ed Crisp. There songs about friendship, romance, and impossible situations, show hints on Yo La Tengo, along with other influences such as Broadcast, Big Thief, Broken Social Scene.
Today, they share EP cut and live favourite, “ Old News”. Tom explains: “It started off as a demo with just Sarah and a keyboard but we changed it to an organ and added a big fuzzy bassline and some drums to make it sound bolder. It’s very simple but sounds really interesting when it builds up to the louder sections and almost turns from ‘sad and a bit lonely’ into this big cathartic release. When the drums change at the end it makes me want to give someone a hug.”
