Our new album “Lemuria” is out today! This is a very special collection of songs to us because we were exploring a work flow that placed the experience of creating over the outcome. We also made this over a period of time when we were both processing big personal life changes and loss. In some ways this feels like our sci-fi diary, with each song making up the world of Lemuria.
