Vogel learnt violin and piano at an early age, and became interested in synthesizers after hearing bands like The Cars, Devo and Kraftwerk in high school.

[4] Vogel joined iconic genre-mashers Regurgitator in 2007 as a touring member and also contributed to their studio album Love and Paranoia that was recorded in Brazil.

Self-produced and recorded in her home studio in Brisbane, it is a dense collection of squelchy synths, drum machines and computer bongos with an undercurrent of sweet melodies sung about self critical and often tongue in cheek self deprecation.

The album welcomes a few close friends playing real acoustic instruments, including Jen Boyce (Ball Park Music) on bass, Stella Mozgawa (Warpaint (band)) on percussion, Fred Armisen (SNL, Portlandia) on octobans, Georgia Mooney (All Our Exes Live in Texas) on backing vocals, George Browning (Velociraptor) on drums and percussion, Nicole Perry on congas, Chris Farrer (the Quickening) on guitar solos, Conrad Greenleaf (Richard in Your Mind) on bass and Danny Widdicombe (the Wilson Pickers) on pedal steel.

Some guests include Kevin Mitchell of Jebediah, Sarah Blasko, Megan Washington, Benjamin Law, Fred Armisen and Jeff Tweedy (Wilco).
