too late to pray - climate change

About Me

Ambient female vocals plus the return of big lush guitar in trippy atmosphere make for wild mix, fire on water!"Summons a precarious edge between joy and tears; where fire and water command the passions and where falling becomes a funky ‘letting go’.....""Distinct and delicious tones, explore a contemporary mindset and a range of moods that arise from within it""The ambient ease of intelligent hooks and compelling grooves""Portrays lucid experience and tender genius"JOYAAA is mainly the music is an intense dance between Gavin and Victoria. Long obsessive hours (weeks... even years) they work playing, programming, panning and producing wicked tunes to chill to. We love it really!
