Playing music together for over 20 years has given the Bell brothers plenty of time to learn how to build off of one another"s strengths as they write, record, and tour. During the three years Michael and Jared spent writing and recording their 2012 album, Symbolyst, they spent more time apart than they ever had. After several years of steady touring in support of two full-length releases and an EP with This Will Destroy You, the brothers found themselves on opposite sides of the globe, with Michael living in Japan and Jared studying graphic design in Brooklyn.
