This duo presents a sound reminiscent of 50s/60s soul and doo-wop (i.e., The Everly Brothers). Human Highway came about while Jim Guthrie and Nick Thorburn (Islands, ex-Unicorns) were on tour with Islands. Moody Motorcycle is Human Highway's debut album, and it was crafted in a week of sleeping and recording on Guthrie's couch in downtown Toronto.

Thorburn told ChartAttack.com, "the Human Highway album is gentle, like lullaby-type stuff. We're really inspired by Everly Brothers harmonies, singing. And Jim is just such an amazing singer... It's really low-key, just like good times."
