Discography

[edit]

All releases are issued on ELaB Records (aka Eco Lab Recordings), an independent label owned and operated by Dean Garcia; with the exception of the You're Alright / Another Day single issued on Club AC30.

3-D was also released on Noiseplus Music, Quince Records, Electric; and the Silver Clouds EP was released on Electric.[8] Four albums were also released on the Saint Marie Records label between 2014 and 2016.[9]

The single "Push" from the Push EP was featured on "BBC London Introducing: The best in new music with Gary Crowley". on 26 January 2013. Crowley commented "We played them before to always a good reaction; Rose likes twisters and Marcel Duchamp, Dean likes eating biscuits and staying up late."[10] A review by Wave Maker Magazine stated "Push is undeniably one of those songs that automatically has the ability to put you into a trance, and for all of the right reasons."[11]
