Named after a seemingly nonsensical word that philosopher William James coined as "the meaning of life" while experimenting with nitrous oxide, Higamos Hogamos, like James, is a stoney and experimental electro duo that blends modern electronic sounds with '70s glam, psychedelia, and Krautrock -- especially Krautrock. Formerly paired together in Fort Lauderdale, Steve Webster (the Black Neon) and Toby Jenkins (Zan Pan, the Squire of Somerton) started a recording project in London over the winter holidays of 2006. Heavily influenced by the driving electro-rhythms of Motorik German groups Neu!, Kraftwerk, and Harmonia, Webster and Jenkins recorded a few songs together before DC Recordings' Saul Kane realized the group's potential, and signed them to DC, who released their first album in March of 2009. ~ Jason Lymangrover
