Stephen Pastel on their signing to 53rd and 3rd:
“where did (the fabulous) chin-chin come from?
they were a swiss band and they played with the shop assistants when the shop assistants were touring europe. they were just massive shop assistants fans and they really just wanted to be on the same label as the shop assistants, and they just sent over their tape.”

Following the release of their debut album ‘Shallow Dive’ in 2005, the group have attracted a wealth of new listeners the world over with their distinctive, laid back sound.
