Brooklyn, New York City-based Skyhill was formed in the winter of 2006, when Dan Avidan and Peter Lennox connected through their love of atmospheric, beat-heavy anthems.
Writing and recording throughout 2006 and early 2007, with Dan on vocals
and Peter on guitars & keyboards, the band completed what would become
their debut album, 'Run With The Hunted' (self-produced), in the spring of 2007.
The album's sound – a meld of downtempo electronica, European house, and
alt/indie rock – reflected the influence of the band's many musical
heroes, such as Zero 7, Massive Attack, Depeche Mode, and U2.
The band played the New York area throughout the summer/fall of 2007
in support of the album.
The band broke up shortly after.
In 2015 Dan and Peter reunited to write a new song "Firefly". It is currently unknown if they plan to record more material.
Skyhill's live show is rounded out by the inimitable talents of Zack Hagen
(bass, background vocals), Elena Belan (keyboards/triggers, background
vocals), and Mr. X (drums, percussion), and features a
hypnotizing visual display by Broken Lens Studios.
