Background

Tejada and Nishimoto met in 1998 and discovered that they took inspiration from the same musicians. [1] Shortly afterward, they held several recording sessions and eventually released multiple albums on the City Centre Offices imprint. [2] [3] [4] [5]

Their music has been remixed by several artists, including Dntel, Ulrich Schnauss, and Polar. The duo's music has been compared to that of the Chicago-based post-rock group, Tortoise. [6]

Their name comes from the animated feature film The Iron Giant . [7]
