One half of Ectomorph and Interdimensional Transmissions shines a light on the understated, trippy side of electro, squeezing maximum vibes out of skeletal arrangements.

A message from Erika: 

"2011 was the year that No Way Back got shut down by the police at the Bo House, just after midnight, as it was beginning. The next morning I opened the Made in Detroit stage at Movement, feeling very emotional, we were all super upset about how everything had gone down just a few hours prior. Derek Plaslaiko was there from before the first record, and everyone else trickled in – in just as crazy a head space as I was. As I saw each friend appear in the audience, I played a record just for them, so the set became a string of dedications to the people of the No Way Back that never was."
