According to Coulter, Tullett contacted them in 2016, when they were 18 years old, after he heard their music through a friend. They then drove to his house, and they wrote three songs on the spot, which would later be included in the debut album. [4] The duo debuted with a 2018 double-A single "Rainmaker"/"Earthbound". [5] Their first album, self-titled, was released in 2019, and was followed by the 2020 album Holding. [6] Additionally, they have released music with S. Carey and lilo. [7] As of 2019, they were signed to Lowswimmer, a newly created label run by Lacey, his manager and Tullett. [8] [b] Their third album, Serenity Now, was released on 26 June 2024. [10]
Their music, described also as folktronica, [1] includes ethereal, lo-fi and electronic sounds, employs vocal harmonies, non-standard guitar tunings, and has been compared to Novo Amor, Bon Iver, and Imogen Heap. [2] [8] [11] [12]
