After playing live throughout the United Kingdom to much critical acclaim, touring with iLiKETRAiNS and The Twilight Sad, Cult of Luna, Maybeshewill and Sólstafir,[1] they released their debut album, The Heritage, in 2008, which was also positively acclaimed,[2][3] and was followed by a well-received headlining tour.

[6] The Quiet Lamb is ranked the 12th best Post-rock album of all time in a poll of fans and reviewers with a critic's score of 83.

While the response to the Navigator was viewed positively by critics, it lacked the wider appeal witnessed with its predecessor.

[9] In 2015, celebrating a decade of the playing together, the band released a short documentary entitled A Wave of Endorphins; a title inspired by the popular track "Pour More Oil" which appeared on The Quiet Lamb.

[11][12][13][14] During ArcTanGent Festival 2022 near Bristol, the band played a one off reunion show on Saturday, 20 August.
