The band formed out of Orla Travers’ necessity; a necessity to tell stories and to write songs. She and Julian Halpin got together in 2010 and travelled the length and breadth of Ireland together, playing music. When they settled in Cork in 2013 and Chris Schmidt-Martin joined the band a year later, things escalated pretty quickly. With Orla’s words as the creative backbone, the three set about creating complex and atmospheric arrangements to match the world about which she was already writing.
