[1][6][7] The eponymous debut album was largely recorded at Brock's home in Portland and released in 2010,[8] to a positive critical reaction.
[2] Pitchfork Media gave the album a 7.4/10 rating, describing Lacy as "extremely gifted with cyclical melodies: thorny, fingerpicked spines around which he can snake a range of sounds simply for ambience".
[10] The Seattle Weekly viewed that the album "strikes a balance between dynamic, sprightly melodies and hushed, languid folk lullabies".
[11] The Portland Mercury described it as "ethereal, pensive, and austere—a calm, chilly night spent gazing at a clear, starry sky".
The band has toured with artists such as Modest Mouse, Deertick, The Low Anthem, Blind Pilot, Cloud Cult, Jenny Lewis, Langhorne Slim, Jesse Sykes and Jakob Dylan and shared stages with artists including but not limited to Fleet Foxes, Menomena, Helio Sequence, Blitzen Trapper, The Tallest Man on Earth, Okkervil River, and Conor Oberst.
