█ At summer camp in Connecticut we were surrounded █
█ by rich kids wanting to be hippies; keeping it █
█ pure and beautiful..we felt like the odd ones █
█ out." So says the fakes guitarist/songwriter Jase █
█ McCormick of the origins of the Australian █
█ Shoegaze/dreampop/country/electro bandÆs name. █
█ "YouÆd have these kids smoking pot then █
█ deodorizing their room with $150 cologne whilst we █
█ ere earning about 23 cents an hour. " Looking back █
█ on that period in the projects history; Jason █
█ reflects that "My e-mail writing skills were a lot █
█ better than my song writing ones because we had █
█ labels such as RCA and record mogul Brian █
█ Malouf(Michael Jackson producer) assigning A+R █
█ people to check us out-which didnÆt involve much █
█ effort on their part as we were more of a studio █
█ project and not a real band so it was pretty near █
█ impossible trying to get a live show out of us ." █
█ It was not until 2003 and relocation back to █
█ Australia that a new batch of songs were written █
█ and a permanent line up was finally put together. █
█ It was at this time that drummer Dave Cox; bassist █
█ Peter Bouwman and cellist Caz Gannell; with singer █
█ Juliarna Cleal and guitarist Jase McCormick became █
█ the fakes. In the course of preparing to record █
█ their demos; the fakes hooked up with producer █
█ Robbie Rowlands (frente; 1200 techniques; the █
█ Morning after Girls; )and things began progressing █
█ at a faster rate.The fakes debut Ep Storm in a █
█ teacup was recorded and released through MGM █
█ distribution. Sales of the Ep were modest but █
█ respectable for a new band with no publicity or █
█ management behind them as they set about putting █
█ in the hours live around MelbourneÆs better known █
█ venues. The band was gelling and the shows; whilst █
█ conservative and understated started getting the █
█ band more attention. "No other band was really █
█ doing what we were; which was that 1990's █
█ influenced shoegaze sound." The band returned to █
█ the studio to record the follow up ÆLittle Deaths" █
█ which was sonically a leap forward; full of █
█ angelic vocals and layered;reverb soaked guitar █
█ lines. The CD got some good reviews and the Ep was █
█ sent out to radio.Several labels in the states █
█ were keen to release the Ep on the back of Sigur █
█ RosÆ success; whom the fakes had recieved █
█ comparisons. Work finally began on a debut album. █
█ Over the next year the band played shows to █
█ increasingly growing audiences whilst expanding █
█ their sound; coming across as more Slowdive than █
█ Mazzy Star. With more driving drums and bass; and █
█ noisier guitar; the band was morphing into a more █
█ contemporary sounding unit; at times being █
█ compared to Alternative favorites such as Blonde █
█ Redhead, Camera Obscure; and Trespassers William. █
█ There was also a nod to 60Æs band Love; who had █
█ heavily influenced San FranciscoÆs tripped out █
█ psychedelic sound. The band worked on the album █
█ throughout 2007-2008 with mixing finally beginning █
█ in February 2008. █
█ █
█ Asian edition with 2 bonus tracks (12-13). █
