History

Wyatt and Nezey first formed the group after a strong musical connection was made when working on Kimberly's debut studio album in Los Angeles. When recording her debut album, Kimberly became frustrated when most of the producers that she worked with were focusing on "making something that people will listen to now". Whereas Nezey wanted to make something that "people will listen to in the future", which Kimberly agreed with. [2] The duo released a new track, "Glaciers" on 27 August 2010 as a free download from their website. [3] On 9 November 2010, the duo released the official music video for their first mainstream single "Stars in Your Eyes". The group released "Stars in Your Eyes" as their first official single on 10 January 2011. [4] On 11 July 2011 their debut album 111 was released in the UK. Kimberly Wyatt posted on Twitter that there was going to be a 111: Part 2 released in 2013 or 2014.

Musical influences

The duo have stated that their musical influences include Florence and the Machine, Sia Furler, Empire of the Sun and Ladyhawke. [5]
