Life-long friends, Canadian musicians Felicia Harding and Marina Avros and Australian-based Jaime Jackett, combine exquisite harmonies and relatable stories into a 10-track upbeat sonic journey covering themes from love and loss to overcoming life-threatening illness.
First single 'Fall In Love With Me' is a romantic tale of same-sex love. "It was completely by chance that the government of Australia happened to be going to the polls the very week we were planning to release our single," says Jaime. "And with the marriage equality plebiscite up and coming in Australia, we wanted to show our support for our band mate, Marina, and the LGBTQI community in Australia, and the world, by offering up our pending release for equality... it is focused on love, personal challenge and death. It's sort of the collective life story of the band, if you will."
They don't shy away from darker tales of personal hardship either, tracks 'Strange World' and 'Night Flight' are inspired by Jaime's brush with cancer. "Last year, I had a brain stem tumour removed that had been considered inoperable and benign for 11 years. After a series of events, it was my family's discovery of Dr. Charlie Teo that saw me having the 'inoperable' removed. As it turned out, it had become a cancer. I believe he saved my life. The band has helped get me through this insane period of my life... we stubbornly toured in February, despite the challenge, and followed that by recording 'Powerful Owl' after the tour... Needless to say, that experience was a huge influence on songs that I penned.
The trio formed in Australia in 2015 and have since performed nationally, including their famed Tasmanian Caves concert, performed 100 meters underground. The band’s sunlit sound has been cultured from the love and support they’ve received from audiences down under.
