Dear fans, friends and family, 

We’re thrilled to announce that we’re in the process of recording our 5th album! After a milestone of 20 years of collaboration, we’re fortunate—and grateful—to be able to continue making music for you.

Our long creative road has been paved with rewards and challenges, as we evolved from working with a major label on Hybrid (2007) to going independent, creating music from our hearts with unwavering support and inspiration from our fans, who are the reason we continue on our musical mission to this day.

In 2018, after suffering the loss of a dear family member, we knew we needed to make a new record to help us process our loss. The stars aligned, and we jumped at the opportunity to work with one of our favorite producers, the Grammy award-winning David Bottrill (Peter Gabriel, Tool, Muse, Smashing Pumpkins, Silverchair), and in March, 2019, we began recording music that took us in a whole new, and riveting, direction. 

Three tracks in, the pandemic hit. 

The uncertainty and anxiety wrought by Covid-19 has been universal, and artists/ performers like us have been especially hard hit. To embark on our second phase of production, we need help, and so we’re reaching out to our fans—those fortunate enough, in these challenging times, to find themselves in a relatively stable financial position—to extend whatever support you can, so we can bring our album to fruition, to the high standard we have always upheld. 

We’re on a mission to finish this album, and to continue making music that helps heal us all—and more than ever, we need you. Thanks, in advance, for supporting us in any way you can, and boundless gratitude for being by our side all these years!
