Now about the ears…

Schneider and Whalen grew up outside Washington, DC where they developed a voracious appetite for the 80s/90s alternative local music scene (as well as moody, British bands). Their friendship inevitably led to collaborating on their Richmond, Virginia based band, Damn Near Red.

Whalen continued working in various studios producing indie and major label bands, meanwhile Schneider pursued a career as an art director and designer, steadily experimenting with sound and composing music on the side.

The two have recently embarked on creating new music together again, this time under the moniker Supercivil. They are also pursuing opportunities to score for film and media as Two Left Ears.

Their composing palette often features live recorded guitars, drums, bass, as well as processed samples, blended with synth to produce a range of sound that creates indie-rock-like moments, to minimal, textured atmospheres and experimental soundscapes.
