Originally a solo act formed in 2007, the band has since expanded to include two bass guitars, a drum machine and a stylophone.

Influences include Florence Foster Jenkins, Leonard Cohen and Captain Beefheart. They have been compared to Darren Hayman, Daniel Johnston, Young Marble Giants, Syd Barrett, Roger McGough, Steve Harley and the Grease soundtrack. “Pitch-perfect bedroom indie” anewbandaday.com “Unabashedly low-key, brilliantly realised and strangely moving all at once” Artrocker magazine “Beautiful!” Kramer "So good!"
