Sinai 48 is an American band formed in 2006 consisting of Alex Helene (vocals), Ananiah McCarrell (guitars and synthesizers), Gary "Hoppy" Hodges (drums and percussion), and Tom Moncrieff (bass and digital editing).
Sinai 48, like US electronic indie pop outfit The Postal Service, did not traditionally record live performances together in the studio while creating their upcoming album; instead, they produced and arranged the album via the internet and the United States Postal Service by transferring pieces composed by McCarrell back and forth for each other to build upon, with written arrangement directions.
Two of his drumming contributions hit the top 40: a remake of Buddy Holly's classic "Oh Boy" with Judy Pulver and Dancing on the Moon with Glenda Griffith.
Moncrieff recorded demos with Fleetwood Mac on the multi-platinum Tusk LP, providing songwriting assistance to Stevie Nicks, including "Gypsy" and "Sara".
Guitarist Ananiah McCarrell released a solo classical CD in 1998 called Compassionate Witness that failed to chart, but did gain notoriety on the internet.
