Born out of sound experiments in an improvised studio of a small London flat, Of The I's
huge sound belies its modest beginnings. Coming together from diverse origins, as students
of philosophy and psychology, the band's five members worked to find a way of expressing

locked themselves away and plotted their first album while cutting their teeth on the London
live scene.
