Picking my jaw up off the floor over this round portable reel to reel that turns out is also a phonograph and radio 🤯😱 From 1964 and made in Japan, these had poor sound quality (SHOCKER) 😄 But they’re fun and cute and doing something different 👏 If you find one let us know! 👀 keep an eye out for the Answer ATR 102 in your internet (and real world) travels 🙌 🕵️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CRP_zaABvdS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Enjoying the long weekend with lots of vinyl, sound sourcing, brainstorming the new album & general lazy-ing around letting the creative juices marinate 🤓🚀🚀 Or we may watch a ton of retro sci-fi movies 😂 ...or a sprinkle of this and that most likely! *This is a Polaroid from almost 10 years ago....have we mentioned we are feeling nostalgic lately?? 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6Suc2BpqL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ever wonder how an alien would play synth? 👽😂🤘 That’s a concert we’d go to! Or do you think they’d be more a live streamer? 🤔 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQTdRT0Bz6f/?utm_medium=tumblr

Love to find clips we don’t remember filming 🤩 This is an especially fun bit of experimentation with the Music Easel 🚀🚀🚀 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQBkw1ZBadz/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Retro Sci-Fi Friday!! 🎉 Tonight we are watching “The Conversation” from 1974. Funny thing about this movie is: 🟢 No Synths 🟢 No Sci-Fi 😂 So why are we watching it, then? Yes, this movie is a retro suspense/thriller filled with amazing 70s music, iconic filmmaking by Francis Ford Coppola, and a fun-to-watch performance by Gene Hackman. But... It’s also filled with TAPE!!! 👏 It’s truly one of our favorite films of all time. And we even have the soundtrack on Vinyl ❤️ Will you be watching this movie too? Have you seen it before? Major s/o to @drewschlesinger for reminding us about this! 🙌 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPtg1WuBZbJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

😍 If you’re inside our PORTAL, you have exclusive access to the last remaining copies of the Collector’s Edition orange cassette in its amazing retro case! 👏👏👏 Never available again...Going, going... 💨 🚀✨ 😉 and if you can’t locate your secret link, just send us a DM 🤫 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPoEiN3BJ8g/?utm_medium=tumblr

Looks relaxing ☺️ What’s she listening to? 🔊 We’ve been listening back to some new recordings which are like fragments of ideas guiding us down a magical cosmic path towards our new album ✨🚀🛸 It’s a lot like this photo...sitting in a white void with your best speakers listening on multiple formats like tape (1/4” reel in our case or vinyl like in the photo, or sometimes we record to cassette for a raw feel) and feeling with your senses to find the heart of the sound and follow it deeper.... at least that’s one way to describe it 😅 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPjkNMZBoPi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Spending this nice long weekend with Jodorowsky. Starting on The Holy Mountain and then exploring the Dunes 😉 Have a fun one!! 🏖 ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CPhAiNVBBEt/?utm_medium=tumblr

There is something so satisfying about staring at this photo.... is it the symmetry? Or the analog gear? Makes me want to point and yell “synths” 😁 🤣👏 Anyway, thanks for making us feel ok about sharing weird stuff like this that just makes us happy 🙏😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CPd-znEBgV0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Starting work on our next album this week. Took some time off to get clear about it all. Very very very excited to share more as it unfolds....already thinking about whether we should do reels and cassettes again 😜 We’d love to hear from you about: 1. What you love to see of our process/behind the scenes making the album and crafting the sounds 2. What format you want it on! Very early days, but your input makes everything seamless when the time comes 🙏Thanks for sharing caring and enjoying the ride on The Galaxy Electric Express 🚀✨ Next stop: Tomorrowland.... https://www.instagram.com/p/CPbIy8tBwZa/?utm_medium=tumblr
