The Army, The Navy is the project of childhood friends Sasha Goldberg and Maia Ciambriello, whose roots in harmony trace back to a shared singing coach and years spent studying music in New Orleans. Their sound is sparse but rich, blending pop-inspired melodies with raw, poetic storytelling.

Formed through college jam sessions and DIY shows in Louisiana’s alt scene, the duo now call Los Angeles home — where they shaped their debut EPs Fruit For Flies and Sugar For Bugs into sharp reflections of friendship, feeling, and intuition.

We spoke to them ahead of their Australian tour about how it all began, their influences, and the community that fuels their music.
