The band was characterized by its fusion of experimentalism with pop sensibilities. [1]
In 2013, Hackford released his debut solo album Fair. [2] [3] The album is based on material he developed in Europe in 2011 where by using a small field recorder, a synth, a sampler and a microphone, he recorded improvised songs that would later became the basis for the album. [4] The album featured "Another Fantasy", described by Pitchfork as “a supremely grimy wall-pounder”. [5]
In 2013, Hackford was the sound designer for M Lamar's Surveillance Punishment and The Black Psyche, an examination of "the sexual politics surrounding the surveillance of the black male body". [6]
In 2014, Hackford collaborated with dancer and choreographer Brittany Bailey on a series of performances titled “Light Dance with Girl” at Judson Church, NADA Art Fair, and the Williamsburg Art and Historical Center. [7]
In 2014, Hackford collaborated with experimental cellist Oliver Coates on a split EP which featured a Coates cover of "Another Fantasy" “pulling all manner of gnarled and ragged sounds” from his cello, and “looping and multi-tracking them into a chugging, almost-dancefloor-ready track”. [8]
In December 2014, Hackford released the mini-album Amnesia on PRAH Recordings. The label described it as “raw, sampladelic tracks and different explorations of repetition”. [9] [10] [11]
In 2015, Hackford released the album Behind. [12]
In 2015, Hackford made four remixes for the album release of In Remembrance by Delia Gonzalez. [13] [14] [15] On April 12, 2015, Hackford, Alice Cohen, Adrian Knight, and David Lackner joined Gonzalez at the Museum of Modern Art to play a live score for four of her ballet films. [16]

In 2020, Hackford released Safe (Exits). It was described by Pitchfork as an "appealingly loose, rangy record" that's "suited to his magpie tendencies". [20]
In 2021, a remix by Peak Wifi, a project between Hackford and Parquet Courts member Austin Brown, was featured on the B-side of Parquet Courts physical-only single titled Plant Life. [21]
