Initially germinating from a fortuitous meeting between Amanda Warner, a recent transplant from Oakland, California, and Peter Wade, an NYC-based producer/ songwriter of considerable renown, Warner's self-confessed 'gearhead' leanings (which had taken her from programming beats as a teenager to even designing the touring keyboard for Yeah Yeah Yeahs) found their match in Wade's experimental adventures into non-traditional sounds, with their resulting music being a perfect study in contrasts, as displayed on their debut release 'E.P.E'. Here, a variety of disparate influences – krautrock, early house, minimal techno and lo-fi noise – are processed and synthesised into a set of boldly offbeat, thrillingly addictive pop songs. Their electrifying, galvanising live performances (including star turns at SXSW and supports to Massive Attack) have won them raves from the likes of New York Times and NME.
