    History

    [edit]

    Early years

    [edit]

    The band was founded by Richard Larsen, and Rowan Pierce in 2010 after graduating from Toi Whakaari.[2] The band name was inspired by the vaulted ceilings of cathedrals.

    Sojourn

    [edit]

    In 2013, the band began work on their first full-length album Sojourn which was released by Flying Out in mid-2015. Sojourn included such singles as "Life is the Show" and "Ancient Gates", which received extensive airplay on alternative radio stations such as 95bFM and Radioactive.

    The New Happy

    [edit]

    Their second album The New Happy, was released in mid-2017 in New Zealand.[3]

    The band took aural cues from Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and influences from tracks of Talking Heads, Tom Tom Club, and Grace Jones with minimal reverb and dry sounding percussion.[4]
