History

The band was formed in 2015 by Moodie and Rorie, both from Orkney.[1] Sinclair and Baxter joined soon after.[2] The band has a tradition of naming tracks after relatives to celebrate significant birthdays.[2]

Musical style

Robert McMillen, profiling the band for The Irish News after the release of their third album, wrote that "their signature sound is a rich tapestry of acoustic layers and textures, mixing outstanding musicianship with captivating original songs".[2]

Billy Rough, reviewing their second album for Folk Radio UK, wrote, "Characterised by a tight, cool mood, superbly balanced instrumental harmonies and some rather fetching melodies, the boys have captured a sound dipped in honey."[3]
