Influences: talk talk/radiohead/the smiths/jah wobble/cocteau twins/james/r.e.m./massive attack
Sounds Like: Each of our albums we've recorded has its own sound..as we draft in guests ..from the late night chill of our first album, with its talk talk/cocteau twins influence, to the smithsy/r.e.m sound of our 5th album, intermixed with world music influences.
indie? passionate?progressive? jazzy? psychedelic?world trance music?..!!Even Enyaish!!These are all labels stuck on us as we explore different musical avenues..but we still have that unique "sunbox " sound,- passionate and melodic with an edge..
