From last.fm:

Minneapolis electronic crusaders, The New Monarchs, have been hibernating almost since their birth in 2005. Starting out as a guitar, bass, and drums quartet, the band soon split for college. However, remaining members Sean Hogan (Vocals, Guitar, Programming, Electronics) and Taylor Nelson (Backing Vocals, Lead Guitar, Programming, Electronics, Piano) continued to write and exchange ideas via email while at their respective schools, then jointly applied the varnish to the tunes between semesters, with a more electronically based outlook.

From last.fm:

Ghost In The Water creates intimate, charming electronic pop, suspended between the twin poles of childlike enthusiasm and haunted memories. Like gazing upward at a star-filled sky while weighed down by the responsibilities of the everyday, their music is simultaneously uplifting and bruised with longing. Appearing on stage as a duo of husband and wife Nathan Tensen-Woolery and Mandy Tensen-Woolery, Ghost In The Water seeks partnership with a tangle of extension chords, synthesizers, samplers, guitars and vocal harmonies.
