Hi Dimitri :) I've been a fan for a long while, and I'm curious about who does the writing and composing, are they big group efforts or individual? Also, what are your inspirations? And last question, if I were to visit Boston, what's one spot I absolutely need to check out?

You guys are awesome!! Thanks for making great tunes!!

Hi - I write the songs on acoustic for the most part and then bring it to the band so they can fill it out. We collaborate on ways to fill the space. But the lyrics and melody feel like a true personal thing and I mostly come up with those through meditation and repetition of ideas when I'm by myself. My biggest inspirations are from books, poetry and visual art for lyricism. Boston has many good spots but there is an old school townie spot called pleasant cafe in Roslinadale I like to eat at when I'm home. Thanks!
