A New York trio that built ambient techno landscapes across the late '90s and 2000s.
For a good sense of their range, put on "Bled For Days" next to something like "Always Winter But Never Christmas." One drives, the other drifts, but both feel like their world.
They arrived with that self-titled debut in 1998, but it was the 2002 album "Here With Me" that really put them on the map. Songs like "Bled For Days" and "Atom Age" show their knack for weaving dense, atmospheric electronics with a steady pulse. Their sound never felt like pure club fodder, it had a thoughtful, almost cinematic quality that fit right in with Jason Bentley's parallel work at KCRW.
They formed in New York in the late '90s as a trio. After their debut, "Here With Me" in 2002 brought wider attention, and they kept putting out albums like "Resurrection" and "Parallel Worlds" through the 2000s. Later work includes 2012's "The Cycle" and tracks such as "December."
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
