West L.A., 2016 - Mark Bemesderfer goes to his local karaoke bar to engage in some musical therapy. Zak Lloyd, a producer and multi-instrumentalist, happens to be there with clients. 

 

After hearing Mark sing, Zak strikes up a conversation. Despite the effect of whiskey on Zak's Welsh brogue, they manage to make a plan to collaborate. Over the ensuing months, they craft songs and find their sound, a throwback to the singer-songwriters of the 1970s. The result is a serendipitous, soulful collaboration, Cragmont—first heard on their 2017 debut album Spill and on their 2022 follow-up Fool's Goldmine.
