Modern alternative rock meets classical, with experimental twists here and there.
Our new album, "The Mourning After," is now online! Check it out! If you would like a physical copy, contact me at . It'll also show up on iTunes soon. It is similar to the first album but features much better production and generally more rocking songs. It again features David Pinsof on guitars, me (Ben Hantoot) on vocals and synths (though David sings "Seams" and "Venetian Airs"), and Eli Halpern behind the poetic lyrics. We're very proud of this one and hope you feel the same. If you'd like to license a song or contract us for original compositions, please, shoot me an email! Enjoy!!

Lyrics
I was born in the wrong era, I spend far too long in cubicles and windowless rooms. Fateless and painless I sit afternoons. Dreaming of a time when the cities were full of artisans raising the tombs of their lords and seafaring merchants were filling their hulls with the spices of asia while courtiers danced and painted their days. Oh for those Rennaissance days! Here in my office they come and go talking of Michelangelo. And I see beyond the cubicle's walls the cobbled streets of Florence sprawl. Through force of will I leap from my chair and slip into Venetian airs. The walkways knot and choke with weeds the kind that grow inside our dreams. The Medici's are rotting in their oranges.
