emi honda and jordan mckenzie grew up on opposite sides of the same ocean. somehow the currents were strong enough to carry emi from her home in southern japan to southern vancouver island in canada. emi spent alot of time gardening, collecting and making things. meanwhile, jordan was busy writing music and learning to build sound machines. as the currents grew stronger, they met, at first through art, each recognizing unmistakable similarities in the others work. soon they were playing music together, busking in the streets of victoria. they also began to collaborate in making art installations (often working with scott evans). they recorded far & few, and emi joined jordan's prog-folk/sound project, sound stories. working with rachael wadham, they put together their epic story, the spiral ship, and attemped touring around the pacific northwest. perhaps taking the road less travelled too often to be beneficial, they remained in the peripheries of the music world, rarely being noticed head-on. as things grew quiet, emi and jordan grew restless in victoria and decided to push off to montreal. in the process of moving, they developed a new, compact musical set-up, along with a more stripped down sound. this is now elfin saddle (the name of their favorite wild mushroom).

Hi guys. Just wanted to stop by and drop off a little music video I made of you guys at Pop Montreal this last year. The Gramophone dudes had said you might be interested in seeing some footage.
I just happened back here, and I realized how much I miss hearing you guys all the time. Still my favorite in Montreal.
Brooklyn is too far away. I hope the plates shift and our cities are bridged closer together by a giant mountain range. I hope you are both having a good winter and staying warm.
::i see you met my pal, nive! THAT VOICE IS OF BUTTER! and it's on for the 28th of september, lord and lady. at le national. there will be a pretty poster made of coloured ink. i think.
