Friends for 16 years and running, Orenda Fink (Azure Ray, Art in Manila) and Scalpelist (aka Cedric Lemoyne of Remy Zero) teamed up in their hometown of Birmingham, AL, to make music under the name O+S. Inspired equally by art rock veterans 10cc and loop-based beats, they recruited Beck producer Michael Patterson to make their first album, O+S, which was released on Saddle Creek in March of 2009. ~ Jason Lymangrover
