Before the music, there was a love story...

When Orly first met Yagel, she could tell that he was into music, for he was always drumming away with his hands on the table.

She was immediately drawn to him because of his good looks and charm, and felt comfortable with him, and so before she left, she handed him her demo CD.

"I couldn't wait to get home and listen to it," remembers Yagel. "And when I heard her soft voice and songs which seemed so open and honest, I fell in love."

The couple soon discovered that they shared a love for songwriting, and that they worked well together.

They left their jobs, bought an old van, and began a road trip along the East Coast of the U.S., feeling free, spending a lot of time out in nature, and writing music as they traveled. Their individual dreams merged into one.

"There was no clear plan or destination on this trip. We just kept heading south, and for several months, drove in the day and camped out at night. It was a different kind of existence, and we felt suspended in time." --Orly

"One morning we woke up to find our van surrounded by deer. Being out in nature made us feel calm. We met people whose stories were so different from ours, and from our conversations with these strangers came new ideas for songs." -Yagel

"Sometimes we wanted to express our feelings and innermost thoughts, and other times we simply wanted to tell a story." --Orly

A number of songs were composed on the road. Often Yagel would start a random riff on the guitar, and Orly would continue it, taking it in a different direction. Eventually the two parts would find their way back together again and fuse into a joint creation. By the end of the trip, the songwriters realized that the next step was to record. They weren't sure what the future held, but believed in their music and wanted to share it with others.

In the winter of 2011, with the help of producer Gabe Herman, Orly and Yagel recorded their first E.P. at the Powerstation in New England. It snowed the entire three days that they were there, and as they watched the world turn white from the studio windows, they felt they were in a cozy world of their own.

"During those magical days, we felt that the recording captured not only the sound of our music, but also the essence of our relationship and our journey together." --Orly
