"Through happenstance, we find the chance to make the most from bones and clothes." These immortal words ring true everyday in Portland, OR for recent arrivals Richard Bruno and Fletcher Foti. Born and befriended in Little Rock, Arkansas, they have moved around the country -- six cities in six years -- auditioning music scenes and trying out their blend of indie pop-jazz-jam math-rock.After randomly meeting fellow Arkansan James Mayer in the Southeast quintant, the three decided to explore the subtler, southerner nuances of rock and roll, while incorporating exotic instruments and nontraditional arrangements into their pop songs. With the addition of the percussive brilliance of Chaz Hastings, the foursome is duly aligned to slay the glumly stodginess of Portland's winter trappings, and slyly proffer tuneage to its denizens. Their webalbum fijilijim is now digitally available.
