Dylan wanted free reign to create ambitious, experimental, multi-suite arrangements within the frame of a hooky, 4-minute pop song. Maya wanted to pen lyrics and melodies that indulged her geeky penchant for useless knowledge. The two serendipitously crossed paths in 2008 and quickly realized that they shared equally nerdy musical inclinations. They soon began to record a handful of self-produced demo tracks with multi-instrumentalist, Eamon. These tracks attracted the attention of keyboardist and Austin, TX transplant Nic, as well as seasoned L.A. bassist Jason. Finally, Natalie added much needed harmony and depth to the soaring, classically-inspired vocals.
With everyone's distinct tastes given license, the result is a uniquely grand, whimsical, and energetic set of songs with lyrical themes as diverse as the 19th Century American Transcendentalist movement and a Lord Byron loving serial killer.
