This brother and sister duo have blazed many dusty trails stretching from their hometown in Southern California. They currently reside in Sweden where they are creating epic and powerful music that affects a restless, nomadic tone.

Sarah's sepulchral alto tones drift among the layers of distorted, reverberating static and growling Sarah's sepulchral alto tones drift among the layers of distorted, reverberating static and growling, driving melodic guitar on the first track, Ring Me, Elise. The band hint at the pensive on Pirate Sea, with some higher, clean arpeggiated chords, this time their voices interweaving to melancholy effect.

A real taste of this more pensive side can be head on the third track, Words, during which the voices of the band are buoyed along on a sea of harmonium or accordion chords drenched in reverb. The optimistic Better Now draws a close to the EP with a frenetic and climactic ending, and an acapella vocal once more stirring up nomadic associations.

There's a remix at the very end that is polished, with the electronic elements lending a cleaner balance to the track. It's an interesting reworking of the band's sound.
