We got a Zipcar to put some props and things in.

MacAllister: We went to DUMBO in the middle of the night when it’s pretty much empty, and just shot in the streets. We were still shooting at four in the morning. He didn’t know if he was going to make it or not. Hardy: We did a night shoot, and he caught a plane the next morning to go back to Europe. SUFFER FOR ART: MacAllister: For “Lazer Gunz,” our director Marvin Joseph was in Europe on some gig, and came back and a day later left again, right after we finished the video. That has so many cool moments for visuals. MacAllister: We were looking at 2001 for inspiration. VINTAGE SPACE CADETS: Hardy: Barbarella was the inspiration for the press photos. And the song, “Oh My Darling, Clementine.” There was also a satellite called Clementine. Hardy: It was tough! Just a bunch of orange fruit. MacAllister: We’re much easier to find on the Internet now. The photos we have are based off of that as well. Clementine and the Galaxy just made sense. GETTING SPACEY: Hardy: The Galaxy part of our name happened because the first Clementine release featured a collage of a woman cut out from a newspaper in the ’50s, and she’s reclining in outer space. I was recording parts for it and helping her produce and mix her singer/songwriter stuff. MacAllister: “Crying My Whole Heart Out” was the origin of the band. There was a point in time when I was like, “I want to do something a little more adventurous.” It was an indie pop, singer/songwriter vibe. That was more influenced by Feist or Ingrid Michelson. I had my own singer/songwriter project, and I asked him to produce it. And I said, “Oh, I want to sing on those!” That was five years ago.

So I asked him what he did, and he told me he makes music for TV commercials. And then one year I saw he was working in a music house. Julie Hardy: We weren’t really friends at all.

Once a year for a couple of years I’d see Julie. We did it every year for their new set of music. And then they’d have the piano version that they could all sing to. For hymns, they would have the four-part harmonies that they could all hear. He would record the music and he would make recordings and piano versions so that people could have something to listen to so they would know how the song went. It was for the World Day of Prayer, which is this big born-again church thing. SOME THINGS TAKE TIME: Mike MacAllister: We met through this mutual friend who had this gig where his job was to produce these hymns. They also provided the magazine with the exclusive premiere of their new video “Lazer Gunz.” They told us about suffering for art, standing out from the Internet crowd, and what’s next (spoiler: a full-length). Interview joined the pair for a late morning coffee in Brooklyn. But even when mining the most unexpected influences (see: the band’s gritty cover of Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box”), the pair never fails to carry it off with a sense of ethereal whimsy. With only one EP to their names to date, the band’s sound already includes a broad slate of elements-from the “Tonight You Belong to Me”-style -ukulele of “How Can I Not Love You” to the St.-Vincent-in-space refrains of “Crying My Whole Heart.” Hardy jokingly refers to their style as an identify crisis. Their powers combined, the two musicians are Clementine and the Galaxy-a pop duo with their hands on synthesizers and heads in the clouds. But it wasn’t until she met producer Mike MacAllister at a gig that she struck musical gold.
