Eva Saelens started Inca Ore on the cement floor of her warehouse space in Oakland California in April of 2004.
Surrounded by wine glasses, pots and pans, borrowed equipment, lingering ghost murmurs and the tepid confidence in her own voice, she recorded Brute Nature Versus Wild Magic. The record was released as a CDR on Yellow Swans imprint Collective Jyrk and then on vinyl, fortified with an 18 minute vocal piece, by the Sacramento label Weird Forest later that year.

Saelens cut her teeth playing in the absurd punk band Alarmist in Portland, and the quietly plotting Malibu Falcon and also toured with Gang Wizard and collaborated with Yellow Swans. She joined Jackie O Motherfucker in a US tour later that year, in between stints at farms and homeless wandering.
In late 2005 she met Lemon Bear and the duo rented a cabin on the Oregon Coast and made The Birds in the Bushes. Dodging fierce storms and gloomy heaves, the duo improvised for hours and hours daily in January 2006, building the skeletons for the songs that are the body of the 5RC album.
Lemon Bear is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Oakland, a musician living in total obscurity in his devotion to music and obsessive practice. Inca Ore and Lemon Bear cooked up a special and private kind of magic for this album.
The music is the sound of a pact of belief, a belief in the sounds people make as individuals and the effervescence of the beautiful friction between devoted artists. The Birds in The Bushes is a salutation from two people who plucked each other from a canyon of static and invented a pigment which is the pinkish blush, a greeting which is a defiant fingerprint on the sheen of the mundane and lukewarm.
