Artist History
Started in 1998, when Paul Sveinson, and Chxst Famine were finishing high school together, and both very into their respective music, Paul being a hummer-and-a-strummer, and Chxst turning every knob he could find in a 3 metre radius. So, almost by accident they got together and recorded preliminary sessions that turned out to have amazing consequences, and the chemistry worked wonders. Experimentation from both sides in stylistic tendancy, and production method resulted in an unmistakeably intriguing listen. |
