The very wayward guitar/electronics duo that eventually gave birth to Birchville Cat Motel. Beguiling atonal plonkery and profound multi-stringed shingle slides by two irrepressible young guns utterly oblivious to the fact that most people wanted to stone them to death with spare change. I can't believe we did this in public.
