## 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]
