Background

Tejada and Nishimoto met in 1998 and discovered that they took inspiration from the same musicians.[1] Shortly afterward, they held several recording sessions and eventually released multiple albums on the City Centre Offices imprint.[2][3][4][5]

Their music has been remixed by several artists, including Dntel, Ulrich Schnauss, and Polar. The duo's music has been compared to that of the Chicago-based post-rock group, Tortoise.[6]

Their name comes from the animated feature film The Iron Giant.[7]
