Royalchord - The Good Fight

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Tammy Haider and Eliza Hiscox make the music of Royal Chord. Starting out in 2001 playing dusty Alt-Country with a crew that at one point swelled up to eight members, Tammy and Eliza now play primarily as a duo, replacing guitars with keyboards and band members with chopped drum breaks and sequenced bass lines. Their 2009 album, the Good Fight, sees them combine electronics with their neurotic and melancholic sensibility, delivering songs that range from summer Pop to funereal Folk.
