Formed London 2005, the original line up was Shaun Milton (aka. Synge Smith) and Gerald Clark (vocals and piano), with associate members Cai-Marle Garcia – Bass, Daisy Coole – Saxophone, and Eric Young – Drums. In the Spring of 2006 they played their first gig at the Londons famous 12 Bar Club.

Their first album `Where the silence should be’ was released in 2006 by Zube Records. A collection of atmospheric, sometimes idiosyncratic, piano-based songs. The stripped down production of these song’s have echo's of Roxy Music (a major influence) along with of Chet Baker, seventies-era Beach Boy’s ballards and Tom Waits dreamscapes: romantic and edgy.The twelve unreliable memoirs on this collection take you on a journey peopled by seaside ghosts, lost girlfriends and last chance losers.

Gerald left in mid-2007 to work on his solo album, hisx place being taken by Hermione Love, playing her first gig with the act at the Raymond Review Bar in Soho. Since then Shaun and Hermione have been writing new songs and working on the next album, provisionally entitled `Dog Violets.’ Two new songs, `Moon Valley’ and `The Rat’ are included on the new Zube Sampler.  The sound has evolved since the first album drawing on Hermione’s  own background in English folk and classical music and Shaun’s on-going synth-obsession with early Roxy Music, Kraftwerk and Cluster. The new album should be out in late 2009.

A fabulist will tell you this: every story is a true story.
