85% is a collaboration between Isnaj Dui, Offthesky and Orla Wren. All three artists appeared at the Homenormalism show in London at the beginning of August 2013 where it was discovered that they shared a love for 85% dark chocolate. We hinted that an ep should be recorded on that basis and next thing Orla Wren pulls out his iPad and starts recording Isnaj Dui's flute, Offthesky's guitar and a load of other random instruments. A little while later the ep was finished...

Written and recorded August 2013 in London, Halifax, Sunderland and Berlin.
Standing awkwardly between neo-impressionism and electronica, Isnaj Dui (aka Katie English) conveys a minimal yet capturing sound using flutes, home-made dulcimers and electronics. As a classically trained flautist, English has also studied electroacoustic music, alternative tunings and Balinese gamelan and has collaborated with numerous artists from electronica acts to folk bands.
