In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. We both grew up as artists in our own right, but the first time we got together to work, our styles meshed smoothly and it was so easy to create. We would meet up in Steven's living room just to jam out and make demos. We've kept that energy.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Daft Punk, Discovery George Michael, Older Paradis, Recto Verso Sonically speaking, we're very inspired by French synthpop and House. We think the perfect manifestations of those styles are in Paradis' Recto Verso and Daft Punk's Discovery. George Michael's lush vocals and lyrics influenced Darien incredibly.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Motion” With our latest single, Motion, we worked hard to create a euphoric soundscape with different synths, pads, and sounds. The layered harmonies and different tonalities in the vocals were also a fun challenge to take on. We're very proud of the result!
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? When we released our House-inspired track, "ZE HOUSE", we shared it to a few DJ friends of ours. One of them ended up spinning it at a big party at 9:30 Club - one of the most famous venues in DC. Hearing our track blasting in that space was surreal.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? We're still developing and growing our live set and we have so many places and venues we want to perform at in the future. We're also still crafting our debut album, so that's definitely our most important goal at the moment.
