Higamos Hogamos

Named after a seemingly nonsensical word that philosopher William James coined as "the meaning of life" while experimenting with nitrous oxide, Higamos Hogamos, like James, is a stoney and experimental electro duo that blends modern electronic sounds with '70s glam, psychedelia, and Krautrock -- especially Krautrock. Formerly paired together in <a href="spotify:artist:6W9DEYcSztPwHjKqNuJJYX">Fort Lauderdale</a>, Steve Webster (<a href="spotify:artist:0bf22w4xHKKn2IVz4tV5kv">the Black Neon</a>) and Toby Jenkins (Zan Pan, <a href="spotify:artist:52eEGeG1d1nbQob9tyqKTf">the Squire of Somerton</a>) started a recording project in London over the winter holidays of 2006. Heavily influenced by the driving electro-rhythms of Motorik German groups <a href="spotify:artist:2CqEOngQOOMstJupNn6Hmf">Neu!</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0dmPX6ovclgOy8WWJaFEUU">Kraftwerk</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0tHDVpPzMs1JqKTAuGQkQR">Harmonia</a>, Webster and Jenkins recorded a few songs together before DC Recordings' Saul Kane realized the group's potential, and signed them to DC, who released their first album in March of 2009. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi
