The songwriting partnership of Olivia Osby and Avsha Weinberg has faced serious challenges in recent years.

Constant touring, a label split, creative frustrations, and an unhealthy attachment strained both their collaboration and their friendship-intensified by the turbulence of their late teens and early twenties.

Eventually, they realized they needed to reconnect with their roots.

Those roots lie in Atlanta, Georgia-among forests, DIY venues, punk communities, and Weinberg’s family basement-but also on the early internet.
