PYYRAMIDS are Tim Nordwind and Drea Smith. They first connected through a mutual friend and the pair struck up an email correspondence that resulted in them finding a lot of common ground in their love for the likes of The Smiths and Joy Division. They soon started sending their own musical ideas back and forth until Drea relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles and the collaboration really took shape. They released their first EP ‘Human Beings’ to much acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic and followed this up with their debut album ‘Brightest Darkest Day’ which ‘Invisible Scream’ is taken from.
