Originally created by Misha Bower and Matt Cully in 2006 and rounded out by three others, the band welcomes a varying cast on stage that has over the years included members of Timber Timbre and Ohbijou. Last year the band put out their first release entitled A Mountain is a Mouth, which was on the list for a Polaris Music Prize. A new 7” has recently been released and plans to record the follow up to their debut is currently in the works.
