Review from our friends @ www.theryanoriain22.com

In music, the most famous partnership has to be Lennon and McCartney . Their simple melodies dominated,  inspired and reshaped the musical culture of the world and entire generations throughout the sixties, seventies and beyond and The Beatles have remained unchallanged as the top selling sogwriting team of all time..But...
   In Portland and Oregon there is a new duo rising whose own  turnover could match Lennon and McCartney, if not on sales, then most certainly on sheer creative turnover. Mackintosh and Braun are the latest pairing of creative minds making a big impact in the musical and media world, and the musical genre is not the Northern Soul and Beat music of the Beatles, but an ambient electronica that blends inventive acoustic skill with an advanced and flowing electro that  stands a full head and shoulders above all the seventies and eighties electro pioneers who originaly inspired their sound. Fans of the TV series 'Chuck' or MTV's 'The Real World Cancun' will no doubt be familiar with their sound which has been steadily filtering it's way throughout the worlds media on TV, film and radio ever scince releasing their debut album 'The Sound' independantly in late 2007. 
   Their music flows with an ambience and beat that glides out onto a highly inventive dreamscape and draws listeners souls up into a fluid and creamy stratosphere of sounds that will make listeners want to set their own special time apart from the world and lock themselves away with their CDs...a brand new one of which should be available very soon. So if you want to scream in an electronic delight just click the link for the Lennon and McCartney of Electronic Soul..

Also..
on a side note we've had many people sending messages and comments asking when the new album will be out. We're waiting on some exciting things to finish up at the moment, but we'll have much more info for everyone soon. Promise.
Stay tuned...

I just posted a reel on my blog that our friend and director Chuck Fryberger made for us.

It's our song 'On and On' that he featured along with 'Good So Far' in his movie PURE.

Go check it out: 'On and On' video

A big thanks to Chuck for including us in this flick, and by the way, if you haven't seen it, go watch it now, it's incredibly cool.
