Members include Jack McEwan, Luke Parish (guitar), Danny Caddy (drums), Luke Reynolds (bass), and Chris Young (keyboard), who began playing together in "an old horse barn in rural Leederville". Their genre and sound has been compared to that of other popular psychedelic rock bands in Australia, such as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and Tame Impala.
