INFL’s .hsurguy interviews ahead of their gig this Friday with supporting and !

How would you describe your music to new listeners?

Ruth- Despondent harmonic ethereal beats to menacingly conjour to.

Aly- Ethereal and in some places cinematic, vocal harmonies that l*l you to sleep (or death) and a soundscape that paints an unsettling yet dreamlike feeling.

If your music could be played in any movie genre, what would It be?

Ruth- Biblically accurate Christian adaptations of popular movies during a scene where someone is having an exorcism. Or a rom com.

Aly- Definitely horror or supernatural, think American Horror Story, Twilight, True Blood, The Conjuring, we’ve had many visions of our songs playing in horror games also.

'The Nottingham music scene punches above its weight and is comparable to larger cities. I don’t think most of the country is aware of how good it is here. We’ve been able to build a small (and ever growing) local following. There’s a real community spirit here.'
