Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore met while studying philosophy in
college. The two agreed that upon graduating they would sell their
collective possessions and leave behind their lives in Denver. They
wanted a life of experience unmediated by people or things, a life of
intimate participation with their environment. Cell phones,
television, household appliances, the conveniences of modern life were
traded for simplicity and contentment. A return to evenings spent
indulging in the profound silence of the remotest regions, far from
the yellowy glow of civilization.
The long way is the beautiful one. The hard way is the most rewarding.
Two years after completing their 2500 nautical mile voyage, Riley and
Moore’s experience has led them to seek out a new endeavor. Their
music bears the mark of months spent alone with the sea and each
other. It is tinged with the sweet affection of new lovers. It bears
the uncluttered aesthetic of time spent in remote and uninhabited
regions. Their music is a modest attempt to translate an old truth
rediscovered. Their album will be released by Fat Possum in January
2011.
