Although the South Devon, U.K.-raised David Fendick and Stockton-on-Tees-born Johnny Hooker originally began making music together as part of the Leeds act Vib Gyor, by 2009 that group had disbanded and the duo began work on their own brand of folk-pop under the moniker Fossil Collective. Betraying influences such as Simon & Garfunkel and Bon Iver, the first Fossil Collective demo soon found 250,000 viewers on YouTube and led to an indie deal with the Dirty Hit label. Partly recorded in a church and mastered at Abbey Road, the full-length Tell Where I Lie nodded to material by Fleet Foxes, Midlake, and Turin Brakes and, with backing from Universal, reached number one in the Billboard New Artists Album chart in the U.S. ~ James Wilkinson
