History

Dunsmuir and Perri began by creating music for an audio weblog.^[6] They continued to collaborate intermittently over a period of three years,^[7] beginning in 2004, and released their self-titled five-track debut album on Constellation Records in 2006, to positive reviews.^{[8] [9]} Although the two musicians also play rock music together in another of Perri's bands, the musical style of this project is more dance-oriented.^[10] The album appeared on the !earshot campus and community radio charts in April that year.^[11]

Glissandro 70 also contributed a track, "Voices Are Your Best Friend", to the children's compilation album See You on the Moon!, released by Paper Bag Records.^{[12] [13]}
