A San Diego band that blended electronic textures with ethereal vocals across four studio albums.
For a sense of their early sound, try "A Day In The Life Of A Poolshark." Later, "Losing Color" or "Lucid" from their top songs list frame that quiet, drifting quality they kept.
Their sound was hard to pin down, mixing indie rock, electronica, and ambient touches in a way that felt distinct in the early 2000s. Songs like "A Day In The Life Of A Poolshark" from their 2002 debut 100,000 Fireflies show that atmospheric pull. They kept working quietly after Daniel Anderson's death in 2005, with later tracks like "A Light At The End Of The Tunnel" and "Arrhythmia" hinting at their range.
They formed in San Diego in the early 2000s with Michael Harris, Daniel Anderson, and Ryan Johnson. After Anderson died in a car accident in 2005, Harris and Johnson continued as a duo, releasing albums like In the Aeroplane Over the Sea in 2004 and Wolves in 2007. Their music stayed atmospheric across four studio albums until around 2010.
