Whilst it could be said that the band consisting of herself and RΠЯ helped to establish the Athenian imprint in electronica of today on a global scale, releasing a slew of mini-albums as well as their acclaimed 2013 debut LP 'At Home', that was then.

Although an air of mystique brewed around the band from day one, with only the singer even being fully displayed in imagery and RΠЯ remaining slightly illusive, the impact of the music has remained at the forefront causing music lovers and critics alike to be engulfed in their tidal wave of sublime rhythms.
