Their first single, Nightmoves, released in late 2016 sets the template of atmospheric, vocal led tracks grounded by hypnotic percussion, and the accompanying video features Games of Thrones actor Eddie Jackson.
The band captured attention with an outstanding performance at Whelans Ones to Watch in January, and will release their debut album, Drench, in 2017.
