The brainchild of singer/guitarist Kevin Barnes, of Montreal was among
the second wave of bands to emerge from the sprawling Elephant 6
collective. A native of Athens, GA, Barnes was inspired to form the
euphoric indie pop group in the wake of a broken romance with a woman
from Montreal. He signed with Bar/None Records while living in Florida,
subsequently moved to Cleveland and Minneapolis in search of compatible
bandmates, and finally returned home to collaborate with bassist Bryan
Helium (also a member of Athens' Elf Power) and drummer Derek Almstead. Click here for more info.
