Harlee Case and Josh Smith were high school friends who recorded music together. Then they graduated and went their separate ways....
Until 2015, when, after several years of pursuing solo careers, they both returned to Oregon - Portland - and started a creative partnership that is New Constellations.
They just released a breakthrough album last week - It Comes In Waves - that is excellent and you should check out. They're rightly getting Phantogram comparisons with this album, which has a vague Eyelid Movies feel.
But they aren't Phantogram. They're making good, unique music that you should hear.
After hearing this early live version of the song from last year, I think this would mash up really well with "When I'm Small" and I wish I was good enough to do mashups.
I have been talking about the album and another band so much.... but this is my favorite song on the new album because it's just loaded with emotion. It uncorks and beats you like a drum.
