Toronto based duo Jill Harris and Thom Varey unite over their affinity for textured soundscapes, layered harmonies and airy electronic waves, forging the downtempo synth-pop duo Illyin Pipes. Their recently released debut EP Waking Up is a nostalgic look at an atmospheric, carefree summer with a melancholic, almost dark undertone. The hybrid approach is alternative rock infused indie electronic music that has a very unique sound to it. The 5-track-release is well worth diving into to.
