Marooned in Aberystwyth, UK, blind chance and a shared fascination with the British seaside brought together Paul Newland and Tim Noble. On deserted beaches and vertiginous coastal paths, in ancient woodlands and derelict mines, conversations veered wildly from myth to fact, sea to sky, waking to dreaming, cartography to psychogeography, song to instrumental, melody to rhythm…
Somehow, between these extremes, a collaboration began to take shape.
The music, like the landscape in which it is created, is elusive, restless, uncanny: field recordings bleed into haunting vocals, consonance splinters into savage dissonance, rhythms surge then stumble to collapse.
The band released their debut album, Under Cambrian Sky, in June 2010. This was followed by a second album, Adit, in November 2011. Both albums received critical acclaim from publications as diverse as Mojo, The Wire and the Quietus.
