Outerhope was formed when siblings Mike and Micaela Benedicto decided to collaborate on songs built with guitars, keyboards, and vocal harmonies. 

Their first studio recording is the album Strangely Paired, a collection of songs that are almost whimsical and a little absent-minded, with constant references to fictional forms of travel.

In 2005, the duo collaborated with Joon Guillen on a song called Final Hour which was completed entirely through mail.  Outerhope is now doing new versions of the Strangely Paired songs with Joon on electric guitar, Owel Alvero on bass and Zig Rabara on drums.

Strangely Paired was recorded by Shinji Tanaka at Sound Creation Studios, produced by Outerhope and to be re-released soon by Terno Recordings.
