Pet Slimmers of the Year recorded three songs for its eponymous EP, Pet Slimmers of the Year , in October 2008, which was released digitally via the British netlabel Lost Children Net Label on 15 January 2009. [6] [7] In May 2009, the band began demoing material for its follow-up EP; one of these recordings, "Untitled", later appeared exclusively on Abridged Pause Recordings' Various Artists compilation Billowing Tempestus in April 2016.

[14] [2] The song appeared on the band's debut full-length album, Fragments of Uniforms (the rest of which was recorded in June 2013), which was first released as a limited edition CD through Anchor Music on 31 October 2013, before the band was signed with the British record label Candlelight Records in January 2014.
