bring us futuristic soundscapes pierced by extremely groovy jazz-influenced
drum beats.
The duo firstly
bonded over a mutual love of John Bonham's drumming while in college, where
they were part of a group of beatniks who would do experimental jazz jams with
the lights out and improvised film soundtracks. This norm-challenging
approach became intrinsic to their sound which is proven to induce mind-bending
experiences.

Since
this is a blog about psychedelic music let me start off by asking why do you
believe your music might be appreciated by the psychedelic music lovers,
although your music isn't truly psychedelic as far as music genre goes?
Dan: We
are psychedelic in the true definition of it’s dictionary meaning…
"relating to or denoting drugs (especially LSD) that produce
hallucinations and apparent expansion of consciousness”.
This
meaning is close to our hearts as we believe in using music as a tool to
elevate our consciousness. This is why the music is psychedelic in its
nature and foundation rather than direct musical comparison with
psychedelic rock.
We
don't tend to adhere to a specific sense of genre boundary or particular music
vocabulary in favour of experimentation so we rarely fit into a particular
scene and that's something we're comfortable with. I think that instead we are
creating our own sonic world with its own set of creative 'rules' and as long
as we don't break these unspoken rules then our world stays tangible and
visceral, the moment we break those rules the whole world would crumble down
before us.
