The band consists of Cathy Lucas on vocals, Valentina Magaletti on drums (whose credits include Bat for Lashes and Gruff Rhys’ Neon Neon project[2]), bassist Susumu Mukai (aka Zongamin), with Phil M.F.U. (Man From Uranus and former Broadcast sound manipulator[3]) on "strange sounds" and filmmaker/visual artist Elliott Arndt on flute and percussion.[4][5] Lucas was previously a member of Fanfarlo.[4] "The group’s cosmopolitan membership initially reflected its mission to synthesize psychedelic traditions around the globe, from tropicalía to kosmische rock."[6] Their sound has been compared to the band Stereolab and is described as Brazilian psych-jazz as well as a psychedelic, experimental pop ensemble.[7]
