"It was really hard and the songs really sucked," Gail admitted to Radio.com about their first writing session, which did not live up to her prior daydreams. "Neither one of us was used to writing with people. We were both a little shy and it seemed liked it was really not going to work."

The two decided to take a break and just talk about their vision for the band, which just so happened to be the same. Gail and Jacob both wanted to make music they liked listening to. And what they both liked listening to was a mix of power ballads and Phil Collins.

Gail knows that some people think Collins is kind of lame, but she questions how you can hate on the man who wrote a song like "In The Air Tonight," which is both a karaoke staple and a very honest confession from someone going through a divorce. "I think just his songwriting," Gail said when talking about why she loves Collins so much. "Just how catchy the songs are, but how well he can tell a dark story and still get people to sing along."

The duo's 4-song EP, Peaches, is both dark and dreamy with songs that tell stories of sex, crime and religion. Not necessarily radio friendly topics, but the two have a knack for tucking these subjects within a well-produced melody. And their catchy, but vaguely worded choruses, just like their old pal Phil, have the ability to get people singing along.

On the EP's title track the two trade barbs like, "You've been drinking all week, baby, that's all right" and "You've been tearing me apart in the dead of night," over a moody, goth pop-leaning melody. The song eventually ends in a truce, with the duo singing sweetly in unison, "We won't live too long/ So let's love for one song."
