At that moment, The Civil Union was officially born.Īfter saving money to buy a laptop and sound gear, as well as to rent drums and other equipment, the Pahls spent weeks recording what was supposed to be their full-length debut, but someone broke into their house and stole the laptop with their music files. This led to over 24 songs together, with the duo realizing that they had material that could be proud of and should be recorded. Knowing she needed an accessible creative outlet, Andrew started texting Naomi melodies and asking her if she could think of lyrics. For Naomi, who was typically very energetic, life was on pause - and she was going stir crazy. Naomi Pahl was on medically mandated bed rest while waiting 18 months for restorative surgery. The Pahls continued doing this until Naomi was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Endometriosis. He would play shows whenever possible while Naomi sold her art at local markets. To support himself and his growing family, Andrew Pahl took up two full-time jobs as a social worker while managing to write and record several albums. About a year late, they got married and then over the next few years, they have four children together. Within a few weeks of their first meeting, Andrew and Naomi started writing songs together. And much like any other creative meet cute, they exchanged their favorite indie/alt-pop playlists with each other and their phone numbers. The Civil Union - singer/songwriter Andrew Pahl and visual artist Naomi Pahl - are an Edmonton-based husband and wife electro pop act that can trace its origins to when the duo met while in college: The duo wound up in the same songwriting course, where they both lamented the state of contemporary pop music.
