We enjoy listening to plenty of music, and we like making music. Because we like these artists, among others (Yo La Tengo, Belle and Sebastian, Rachel's, Slowdive, Dirty Three, Rilo Kiley, Clem Snide, etc.) we tend to sound somewhat like them when we make our music. There are four of us. Hopefully, one day, there will be five of us, because we need a bass player. We play guitars and keyboards and electronics and trumpets and mandolins and violas and bells and drums. I think the shaker sometimes, too.
