During high school, the band practiced and recorded material in the basement of Bassin's home in Fort Greene.

Towards mid-2020, however, the band's self-produced demos attracted attention from several record labels, including 4AD, Fat Possum, and Sub Pop.

Smith of the Fall or Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner.

Sometimes you can hear it all cross-pollinating within the space of the same three-minute song, making for an album that rewards both short attention spans and deep listening.
