They began working on new material in April 2012. Their music takes influence from many artists such as Phoenix, Ben Lee, Lissie, The Civil Wars etc. All their songs are recorded in a home studio.

After a year, they have finally got back to recording some new material. They’re not sure whether it’s going to go towards an album or EP. They’re just going to take it a song at a time. The whole recording process will be blogging

over the next coming weeks and months.

From the moment you listen to the chanty opener, "Built To Last"; you can tell you're in for a real treat. The song is catchy and perfect for summer or springtime. It's fun and quite enjoyable. Vocal work is good and there's a resident analog sound to the duo; making their tracks so much more interesting. Another semi upbeat cut is, "You Are You". This indie acoustic track is charming and makes me think of a young man wooing a girl.

On the other hand, the boys take it a little slower by the time they reach the third track, "You've Got a Way". This time they showcase not just their instruments and vocal skills but also their lyrical abilities. This also goes true for, "Spark" and "Race Against The Times". Each track flows nicely and puts the music first more than anything else.

The feel to this upbeat, lively and extremely entertaining, raw and wholesome, jolly good album. With good feelings and a good heart held inside. That bounces, resonates and gives of such pure innocent fun and a crisp,fresh,light and breeze aura about it all. That dances within. As this guy sings - the vocal is so gentle, subtle, but at the same time strong. And the songs play and the music. Takes shape inside you. A good solid poppy,rock,slight indie, acoustic guitar album. That has no fancy shit, simple and clean living. The album cover was quirky, cute and nice...and draw my attention right into it.

Hearing the first two songs on this album was like "nice pop sound". Then after hearing "You've got a way" and "Sparks" and realized this band has great lyrics and a depth that is not often found in the massive amount of music dumped on Jamendo. This album has a great texture and flows from song to song very well.

Cool acoustic music with a lovely trashy accent and a very good singer here! Simple, to the point, uncluttered, and catchy. The album is available for free under a creative commons license.
