the Method and Result

With a distinctive mix of electronics and indie pop songwriting, the Method and Result employ a wide variety of instruments, found objects, and computers to produce their music. But the core of their sound comes from a more human element producing engaging melodies and lyrics inspired by personal connections. As the Philadelphia City Paper wrote, 'The most remarkable thing about the Method and Result is not their snazzy, beeping background noises or eccentric, machine-made polyrhythms.

As the Philadelphia City Paper wrote, 'The most remarkable thing about the Method and Result is not their snazzy, beeping background noises or eccentric, machine-made polyrhythms. No, the real trick is that this Philly duo utilizes a small junkyard of machines and looping tricks to create such robotic beats and still comes off human.'

The focus on songwriting is clear on The Things You Miss, which was co-released by The Losing Blueprint and KiraKira Disc Records on March 23, 2004. On this EP, the duo of Megan Wendell and Mason Wendell meld vocals, electric guitars, upright bass, and Rhodes piano with homemade sound recordings made by everything from office supplies, to saxophones, to the organic sounds produced by a Kentucky cave.

The married couple has been performing together in various bands for over 10 years but founded the Method and Result in 2002. Although The Things You Miss will be the Method and Result's first 'official' release, the duo has toured for the past 2 years and received attention from the press for their demo recordings and contributions to compilations.
