Born in Canada to French parents, Elea lived in Hemmingford until age 5 when her family moved to Dharamsala, India for her father to pursue Tibetan medicine studies. She subsequently spent a few years in the south of France before moving to Bristol, UK at 16 to study music.

Albeit being Gen Z, she decided not to correct the journalist for the (hopefully only partly) erroneous compliment.

One woman (electric ukulele, lead vocals), one man (drums, teapot, back up vocals), forming one band that incorporates garage rock, funk, and soul to create a swirl of sloppy transcendence.

Written and performed almost entirely by Jeff, it represents his attempt to make sense of a life lived primarily from stage left.

Award-losing power duo and terrible band name namers, The Barren Spinsters are the kind of band that Jack White would maybe join if he lowered his standards.

They look like a two piece, sound like a five piece, and move like a hair piece.
