Drawing from the common failures of many relationships, Saint Paul based Robbie and Hiromi Matsumoto began writing tongue-in-cheek pop songs soon after they started dating in 2000 and decided to name their efforts after their shared favorite color red, or in Japanese, "Akai". Though most of their raw material was composed on two guitars, in early 2005 producer Eric Elvendahl began to arrange and record their songs with full instrumentation, which by 2006 grew into their first full-length album entitled "Pretty Songs About Ugly Things".

From last.fm:

A Thousand Falls is a Twin Cities indie band formed in late 2008. Melding a variety of influences (from local favorites the Jayhawks to Wilco to Sigur Ros) they have distinguished themselves as a band of extraordinary lyrical depth and passion. In local Twin Cities shows at such venues as the Fine Line and the 400 Bar, they have drawn in audiences and taken them somewhere through their music.   Read more about A Thousand Falls on Last.fm.
