The pair oftentimes found themselves playing at the same parties as time progressed, and whilst they played their own dissimilar strains of music in the moment, they never realised that their musical fascinations aligned.

Having since had a conversation about peak-hour club music, the pair decided to collaborate, with the intention of creating a track that is "layered and multi-textured enough" to fit into each of the duo's sets.

'Inertia' is the result - and the release is accompanied by artwork and fascinating visuals created, produced and directed by Aaron Anderson and Eric Timothy Carlson, who has worked with names such as Bon Iver and Leon Vynehall.

Alongside the release, GRRL and Made of Oak will combine and present their first official collaborative performances in New York's Pioneer Works in Brooklyn on July 27, before hitting Los Angeles' Gold Diggers on August 4. Each of the events will be free to attend and include DJ sets from duo Sylvan Esso.
