The band was formed in 2013 by a theater and movie actress Iryna Lazer (lead-singer, composer, performer) and Oleksiy Mikriukov (composer). In 2015 Taras Lazer (composer, music supervisor) joined the band. The group is known for the lead-singer's particular solo live performances and her rich soprano vocals which she mixes into polyphony using complex combinations of the live looping technique.
