The first EP was recorded in the Sunset district of San Francisco between the beach and the hills. Since then they have played a handful of shows with their eclectic mix of dreampop and chillwave.

The collaborators are a mix of Glenn's musical heroes (including Steve Kilbey and the late-great Grant McLennan) and the hottest new stars in Australian independent music (including Sarah Blasko and Sianna from Love Outside Andromeda).

It was inevitable that this pair of bands, whose music shares a poise and sophistication rarely heard anywhere, never mind within the modest environs of Finland, would find each other.
