itsnotyouitsme formed in Washington Heights in 2003. They describe themselves as "a small band that makes big music. we hope to make you cry in a good way."

Of itsnotyouitsme the New York Times has said, "Reasonable listeners may disagree as to whether the ambient, post-Minimalist music produced by the duo itsnotyouitsme — Caleb Burhans, violinist, and Grey McMurray, guitarist — is chamber music or rock. But that’s beside the point: these musicians live in both worlds, and their instrumental meditations are structurally fascinating and at times meltingly beautiful."
