Details Press Release.

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.”*

Achievements and awards

“I Need Therapy,” with its vocal interplay, places us somewhere near SLOWDIVE and MOJAVE 3, while the lazy rhythms and drums evoke the beloved sound of GALAXIE 500. Hints of 1950s melodies and arrangements reveal the broad spectrum of influences embraced by this American duo. “Clap For Them” slows the tempo, diving into exquisite, delicate folk. The seamless blending of two voices that sound like one shines again, complemented by playful guitar arrangements that heighten the song’s dreamlike quality and intensify a track destined to be a fragile gem.
