after 2 years of squabbling over who does the washing up and various teabag shortages in the kitchen, luke and milla decided to take their arguments into the studio. milla comes from an indie and scando-pop listening background with luke being a full on house and techno chin stroker. they love to experiment and record lots of different sounds for their compositions, be it 5 guys in the garden shed bashing bin lids together, screwing up plastic bags or sweeping the floor, if it makes a sound, it makes music. together they have created a spacey and melancholic two tracker abundant with love and emotion. >disappearing stars< comes with a matthew burton and kate rathod remix and the >its just us< remix has luke and matthew behind the wheel taking it down to china town.
