[edit] About the band
Though originally a solo project conceived by nick gill, the unexpected success of the two albums he released in handmade sleeves acted as a catalyst in the forming of a live ensemble, and the group recording of a third album. The members of the group are multi-instrumentalists, playing many instruments in recordings; live, the group tend to feature violin, viola, electric guitars, double bass, drums, samples & recordings.
