The Vallarelli Brothers formed their band Phone Home in April of 2010. The native New York instrumental pop-duo creates rhythmically driving, atmospheric soundscapes with Michael on keys and John on drums. Inspired by all genres of music, Phone Home's lyric-less music echoes feelings that we are not alone in this universe, hence the loving nod to E.T. with the band's name.
They released their debut, self-titled E.P in September 2010. Various blogs have made comparisons to krautrock, The Album Leaf and Brian Eno among others.
