Charlie Boyer got his start in music playing for a bunch of bands, most notably the folky <a href="spotify:artist:2aeyO4r9bMg3W3Q1IPiJ1C">Electricity in Our Homes</a>, before deciding to finally do his own thing in 2012. He released a solo single ("Ducks"/"You Haven't Got a Chance") for Blank Editions, then decided to get a band together to help realize his vision of <a href="spotify:artist:4rxXqaQUe5udkRsGRDDDIY">Tom Verlaine</a> fronting a psychedelic <a href="spotify:artist:1nJvji2KIlWSseXRSlNYsC">Velvet Underground</a>. Sam Davies, Samir Eskanda, Danny Stead, and Ross Kristian joined, and after being impressed with their gig opening for <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Heavenly+Recordings%22">Heavenly Recordings</a>' band <a href="spotify:artist:0b0uhvUEeiD6y0XHVw3mRA">TOY</a>, the label's Jeff Barrett asked them to make a record. "I Watch You" was produced by <a href="spotify:artist:5Qlt3zQ63Z99mNhuun0JAT">Edwyn Collins</a> and Seb Lewsley at their West Heath Studios and released in September of 2012. The label then asked for a full-length, and the group hit the studio again with <a href="spotify:artist:5Qlt3zQ63Z99mNhuun0JAT">Collins</a> and Lewsley, emerging with the Clarietta album. It was released by Heavenly in May of 2013. After spending a long time and lots of effort refining the songs for their next album, and after a name change to just <a href="spotify:artist:2JxdexbDEkU6RpkvbrwHRv">the Voyeurs</a>, Rhubarb Rhubarb was released in late 2014. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi
