Slow Violence by Occurrence
By slow violence I mean a violence that occurs gradually and out of sight, a violence of delayed destruction that is dispersed over space and time, an attritional violence that is typically not viewed as violence at all…. [It is] a violence that is neither spectacular nor instantaneous, but rather incremental and accretive.
– Rob Nixon, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor

Based in New York City’s neighborhood of Washington Heights, the band formed in 2015 when Ken reached out to his college friend Cat on social media after not seeing each other for almost twenty years. Ken was working on new music and he wanted to know if Cat would sing on them. When they began to perform the album live, they invited Ken’s boyfriend Johnny Hager to join as an additional vocalist.
