After touring with the Mystery Jets, King Creosote and Jamie T in 2007, the band retreated to the deepest darkest fenland backwater town of Ely (Cambridgeshire, England), to build a little home studio sandwiched between the asylum and historic cathedral. Having come to the end of recording and with the cold closing in they returned to London where they put together the finishing touches to their album ‘Trick Of The Night’ which was released in December last year. The band consists of two vocalists, who trade in wide, off kilter harmonies, strings, double bass and percussion. In the last few months the band have supported Fryars, Laura Marling and Sons Of Noel and Adrian. On the strength of a remix of Maps ‘Elouise’ last year the band were asked to work on Depeche Mode’s ‘Jezebel’, 'Peace' and 'Come Back' all featured on singles from their ‘Sounds Of The Universe’ album.
