Originally launched in 2013 as a trio with Nicolai Gabold, the band’s sound later became defined by the songwriting and production duo of Oliver Kincaid and Louis Samson, creating a characteristic streamlined song format with the focus on strong melodic hooks and notable use of falsetto vocals.
[1] The band achieved considerable success with their hit singles "Bay" in 2013,[2] and the follow-ups "Lipstick Lies", "Palace” and ”Camera”.
After extensive touring with a live band including Felix Ewert on drums and Nicholas Kincaid on bass, the duo shocked fans by deciding to split up in 2016 at the height of their success.
What was intended as a permanent break changed, however, after Oliver and Louis got together in late 2019 and decided to collaborate in the studio ”for old time’s sake”.
During the Covid-19 lockdown, they spent time in a family cottage in the woods and re-kindled a creative chemistry that lead to the writing of new material.
