Younger Brother was formed in 2003 by Simon Posford and Benji Vaughan. Their particular genre of music is difficult to accurately classify as it suggests many different forms of electronic music without subscribing to a specific style. Their debut album, A Flock of Bleeps, released on the Twisted Records record label has taken on cult status^{[citation needed]} in underground electronica scenes around the world; with the duo drawing crowds from across the globe. Their second album, titled "The Last Days of Gravity" was released on October 15th, 2007. The artwork for the album is made by the legendary Storm Thorgerson (whose work has graced albums by Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, and Led Zeppelin, among many others).

In 2008, Posford and Benji took "Younger Brother" to Colorado and California on the Twisted Conspiracy Tour. Playing with them in the "Younger Brother Live" band were Marc Brownstein (The Disco Biscuits, Electron) on bass, Tom Hamilton (Brothers Past, The American Babies, Electron) on guitar, and Joe Russo (The Benevento/Russo Duo, Bustle In Your Hedgerow, The American Babies, Electron) on drums. "The Younger Brother Live" band also appeared at Camp Bisco '08.
