This coincided with the announcement of his debut full-length album Nothing Is Still , which was due for release on 15 June 2018. [5] The inspiration for the album came from Vynehall's grandparents. Their emigration from the south-east of the United Kingdom to New York City in the 1960s, their seven-day journey via boat from Southampton to Brooklyn and other stories, only came to light upon the passing of his grandfather four years previous. The album also included a novella and set of short films.

Rare, Forever , Vynehall's second studio album, was released on 30 April 2021 [18] and received widespread critical acclaim from Pitchfork, [19] The Guardian, [20] Clash, Loud and Quiet, [21] Resident Advisor, [22] NME, [23] AllMusic, [24] and many other publications.
