Portland, Oregon quintet Caught in Motion are in constant search of the more honest, more personal pop song. Working to refine each others ideas, co-founders Banah Graf and Sam Krulewitch bore out a sound for their debut LP 'On The Edge of a Dream' more complete than either could manage alone: haunting atmospherics, poignant melodies, and an obsessive attention to detail fill each song to the breaking point between beauty and anxiety. Caught in Motion's live act is executed with the same perfectionist precision the band was founded on, all the while fueling the audience with a stark honesty.
