This world-weary and cultured duo honed their individual talents, Emily Haines at a Toronto art college and James Shaw at the Julliard School where he studied classical trumpet before traveling to Toronto. The group's new wave influences and homages became popular in certain important circles. The group, named for its metered approach to musical structures, signed a publishing deal prior to releasing their debut album in September 2001 on Restless Records. Two years later, the group inked a deal with Everloving, formerly Enjoy Records, and issued Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
