Recorded sporadically over the past five years, the project began as an attempt to finish a collection of half-written songs, before evolving into a standalone body of work with its own distinct style, sound and creative process. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBilly Gardner has played in a spread of bands over the past 15+ years, growing up in Djilang\/Geelong and now residing in Northcote.
