Part of that everything-all-at-once feeling comes from the fact that the two members are polar opposites from each other, united more by friendship than taste or background. A producer, drummer and solo artist under the moniker Bobbyy, Granfelt lives in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles and brings his jazz and hip-hop sensibility to the table while Martel, in addition to being a killer synthesist, is a composer who embraces a more verdant lifestyle in a cabin outside of Seattle, works on films and makes eerie, sci-fi synth music under the name Sous Chef. Put them together, and you've got a duo with a thousand musical interests, seizing on whatever fancy grabs them at that moment before jetting off to the next.
Now a trio with High Pulp member Victory Nguyen joining the band when playing live on modular synth, saxophone and flute, their new album is different. The product of a real plan, instead of just recording on off days, I DON'T LIKE MY TELEPHONE is tight, laser focused, and more representative of who they are as musicians.
