Following their departure from A Whisper in the Noise at the in 2008, drummer/programmer Matt Irwin and violinist Hannah Murray had begun talk of a new project. With much enthusiasm and support from the whole Exile on Mainstream Records/Southern records family, the project that was to become WIVE slowly began to unfold. Matt called on longtime friend and music/art collaborator Isaac Everhart with the proposition of working out a few tracks, and perhaps using these as the basis for this new project. Isaac quickly returned with numerous rough demos and thus the work began. Dustin Marks was enlisted to helm the faders and sliders for the recording process, as well as to contribute additional guitar work. Rounding out the players was Matt's wife, Meghan Irwin, who would handle second vocal duties as well as piano and synths. WIVE comes from a strong DIY background and handles every element in-house, from recording and mixing to design and screen printing. Read more on Last.fm.
