Freedom Fry

Let The Games Begin EP

The duo first met in April 2011 when Seyrat was the stylist on a video for Driscoll's other band Blondfire. Impressed by Seyrat's whispery voice, Driscoll asked her if she would be interested in writing some songs together. In August they recorded and released the Let The Games Begin EP.

The video for the first single, Tallest Dreams, starred Gia Mantegna, daughter of actor Joe Mantegna.

The last song on the EP, Rolling Down, was featured on the season 7 premiere of Bones, during the birth of the main character's baby, Christine.

"Earthquake"

Their follow up single and video, "Earthquake", was released on Valentine's Day 2012. It was named single-of-the-week by French music magazine Les Inrockuptibles.

Glamour Magazine included Earthquake in their 100th issue anniversary playlist. Earthquake has been used in advertisements by fashion brands Lanvin and Princesse Tam.Tam.

Outlaws EP

Following a visit to the grave of Billy the Kid in Fort Sumner, NM, the duo began to conceptualize a wild west themed EP. In April 2012, they released the Outlaws EP, featuring two original songs and a cover of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot's Bonnie and Clyde.

"Summer in the City"

The song and video for "Summer in the City", was released in July 2012.

A remix of Summer in the City by Starcadian was featured in the viral Youtube video, How The Sun Sees You, in August 2014. Using unique UV lenses to show sun damage to skin and the benefits of sunscreen, the video amassed over 17,000,000 views.
