Alex and Clara met during a study program in Japan. When they returned home, each ended up on opposite coasts of the United States (Connecticut and California), yet they decided to start making music together from a distance. It sounds like the plot of a novel, but it’s not—it’s the origin story of GALAXY FINGERS, a band influenced by doo-wop, shoegaze, post-punk, folk, and slowcore. Equally inspired by COCTEAU TWINS, PRETEND, Laura Marling, and THE MAGNETIC FIELDS, their chemistry was so strong that they felt compelled to record their songs. Clara recorded vocals on the East Coast, while the rest was produced on the West Coast, with Brad Lee, a member of THE ALBUM LEAF, overseeing the process. The result is their debut EP, *“Let In Elijah EP.”*
