We landed in San Francisco from different places. Patrick was born in Atlanta and has spent much time in Athens, Georgia and Seattle. He has always been into unique Indie Rock. Hanako is from Yamanashi, Japan and has spent a lot of time singing and playing Jazz in Tokyo. Nate hales from the tiny Wisconsin town of Black River Falls where he was influenced by Classic Rock. He moved to SF with his band from Madison. We think this odd mix of backgrounds and our willingness to experiment leads to songs that are different, interesting and weird. Our genre is kinda hard to pin down. It probably falls somewhere close to these categories: Outsider, Anti-Folk, Psych-Folk, Lo-Fi, Indie Folk and Indie Rock.
Inspired by the at home lo-fi DIY recordings of artists like Waxahatchee, The Mountain Goats, Neutral Milk Hotel, Ty Segall and Daniel Johnston, we recorded our debut self-titled EP at home on a Tascam 8 track.
Check it out. Let us know what you think.
