History
[edit]After moving to New York from Arizona in 2006 and ultimately finding work as a musician, composer, and dancer on several large projects, founding member Steven Reker decided to pursue his own musical ventures.[3] The band made its debut in 2009, and was later signed to Brassland Records. In 2011, they recorded their first album at a farmhouse turned studio in upstate New York, with help from fellow Brassland musician Jherek Bischoff.[3] Following the release of their self-titled debut in 2012, they went on to tour throughout the United States and Europe, and received critical praise for their unique live show.[1][4] They then began recording their second album, Physiques, in 2013, and released it on Brassland in June 2014.[5][6]
