ABOUT US
Alex and Caufield were childhood friends in the deep labyrinthine suburbs of Austin, TX. They bonded over guitar-worship and home recording. From 2010-20, Alex found success as an art director and secretive technophile while Caufield cut his teeth as a serial band-starter and DIY recordist of the Boston underground. Now reunited in Texas, the duo finds themselves again as ~Melody Men~
