It was in a practice studio situated in Montreal’s Mile-End district, through the hardships of time constraints and flat-lined bank accounts, that the trio bonded and created their unique sound, fusing together the restless elements of indie, pop and folk with beautiful rhythmic harmonies, delicate guitar lines and a hint of warm electronica.
Armed with solid training and raw talent, they mix and combine their different musical backgrounds. Their complex arrangements, inspired by both classical and modern composers, are particularly striking to hear and see during their live shows. Devon Portielje’s remarkable voice is beautifully backed up by Connor Molander and Dylan Phillips. Phillips often plays drums and keys simultaneously as Molander and Portielje shuffle between guitar, keys, samplers, and percussion folky three-part harmonies hold down moody, psychedelic arrangements and electronic-infused soundscapes. They have recently welcomed a 4th member on stage, multi-instrumentlist Isaac Symonds, who adds his voice as well as playing guitar, keyboards and percussions.

Half Moon Run Lyrics
21 Gun Salute 21 gun salute I guess I saw it in my TV…
Call Me In The Afternoon You can have it if you don't mind some or…
Drug You Take to relieve it All your wishes come true Take to…
Fire Escape Hey dark eyes Rest with me a while as I drift…
Full Circle Cap off kneeling at the back of the church, Feeling water…
Give Up I just wanted To absolve it To make peace with All those…
Judgement You gotta believe me, I'm doing my best I apologize for…
Need It In a dream I was untrue Shouted in sweats And I knew it…
Nerve There's a lot of nothing in the words, I know But…
No More Losing The War Somebody stop her The lifter The runner The girl with…
She Wants To Know Her face When you were lookin' for a while Without a trace T…
Unofferable Tell me a lie I'll be the first to fall Give me…
Dannelle
on Fire Escape
It’s like a firey and destructive ending to a toxic relationship where the abuser gets off unscathed… and you’re left damaged and in pieces…. You loved them so much that you were willing to go through hell with them… yet all for naught. As they escape and run out to get consoled by bystanders.
Henry
on Narrow Margins
the song is not literal, it uses many metaphors and that makes it more poetic but that is like most songs. The general story is one of some one struggling with the rules and pressures of society, they drink to relieve this pressure and often enter a very reflective state of mind. They decide they will just slip by without anyone noticing as they drift along because they cant sort their life out.
