From Josh Varnedore: I met Amman Abbasi (of the Abbasi Brothers) and Marc and Andrew of Hammock during the production of the Riceboy Sleeps Show in Arkansas in July/August 2007. Amman and I spoke about making music after the premiere, and over the next year we exchanged music over the web, until this naturally evolved into a project. I dont think anyone has ever heard the first track we made, which was called Horse & His Boy. Once the song Leawood was created, we knew we wanted to create more together. In 2009, with several more ideas, a collaboration with Hammock, new sketches, and an explorative vision, we decided to adventure to Iceland to record and write some songs, inspired by the vast & surreal energy of this arctic mystery land and some guidance from our friends who live in Reykjavik.
