Bismuth, an alternative band from Singapore, founded by school friends Flint and Steve in early 2003. Chris was drafted into the group in 2006.
The group - named after an element - has undergone several lineup changes and radical musical mutations. The group's extensive use of guitar effects; dominantly arcane and eccentric songwriting; and passive/aggressive shifts in song dynamics have helped to shape the group's idiosyncratic style and sound.
Almost a year in the making, the sounds of their debut EP have finally been realized, under the providence of Nick Chan as the producer and mixing engineer. In/Out Synchronium was released on 4 January 2008 under Wallwork.
In/Out Synchronium is out on sale now! $10 only! Help spread the word. Currently available at the following outlets:

I agree with Willy! It was my first time catching you guys live and it was awesome. "Snow In China" blew me away! I woke up this morning humming to the bassline!
