Pyyramids

PYYRAMIDS is a collaboration by Tim Nordwind (OK Go) and Drea Smith (He Say, She Say). Connected by a mutual friend in Chicago, the pair struck up an email correspondence that soon transformed into a small torrent of music. Bonding first over dark British pop from the early '80s like The Smiths and Joy Division, and stranger more modern fare like Micachu, Nordwind and Smith were natural collaborators. With piles of songs, beats, and sketches leftover from OK Go writing work, his People project, and a fairly unceasing productivity, Nordwind first passed along beats that Smith layered vocals over in GarageBand. Only meeting in person for the first time months later, the cyber collaboration transformed when Smith visited Nordwind in Los Angeles, where they polished off a half-dozen tracks working face-to-face. Smith was soon to relocate to work on PYYRAMIDS and other projects. PYYRAMIDS initial releases are to be released on Paracadute, an OK Go-founded record label. Their debut album was exclusively premiered on The Hype Machine website during April 2013. Find out more at http://www.pyyramids.com. Read more on Last.fm.
