When Minneapolis guitarist Jason Goessl met Seattle drummer Adam Pessl in 2002, it seemed only right they should form some sort of musical pairing. [Come on, "Goessl" and "Pessl"? What are the odds?] Tenuous though the initial connection may have been, a partnership was formed and soon became the ever-evolving experimental project that is Obelus. Though trained and skilled in traditional live music performance, Jason and Adam were both fans of electronic music, and sought to forge a link between the two cultures. From the experimental to IDM to ambient to electro, Obelus has kept a unique sound intact reflective of their intuitive interplay.

In 2006, Jason and Adam rediscovered an ambient track they'd recorded two years earlier during a trip to the Pessl family ranch in Montana. That track, "Big Sky," landed on the MEMEX records compilation, "Cumulous," and inspired them to record their first ambient record, appropriately titled "Montana." This limited release is pressed on green vinyl and will feature artwork by Jerry Abstract. Montana will be out on Conduit on May 13th, 2008.
