Having first made their mark as The Slip long before moving to Montreal in 2005, they have made a career out of intuitive sound/song building, defying expectations, and not giving up. Between 2011's "The Barr Brothers", 2014's "Sleeping Operator", and 2017's "Queens Of The Breakers" alone, they've garnered hundreds of millions of streams and earned three JUNO Award nominations by creating lush arrangements out of heart-spun melodies, using harp, pedal steel, brass, and lots of experimentation.
