Origami Angel is an American rock band from Washington D.C., consisting of singer and guitarist Ryland Heagy and drummer Pat Doherty.

[6] Instead, Heagy chose to record the material as a duo with Doherty, and started the band "Origami Angel".

[7] Both pooled all of the income into the band, while Heagy wrote material whenever time was found between work and other life obligations.

[8] The band toured locally in support of the EP for a short period, but eventually paused to focus on school.

[4][7] The two chose the subject matter as a "love letter" to the series, with it being important to both of their childhoods, and something they bonded over as band members.

[7] After a few months, Heagy realized that he had accumulated over 35 rough song ideas; knowing they could only finance a single album for their debut, the duo split the material into two main groups.

[15] One particular performance done in place of a live show at Bowling Green's Summit Shack, was moved to being livestream through the video game Minecraft.

[15] Attendance was so high that it crashed the servers, leading to the live EP release Origami Angel Broke Minecraft.

[7][15] On March 25, 2021, the band announced their sophomore double-album Gami Gang, releasing the lead single "Neutrogena Spektor" the following day.

concluded that "With so much happening, it's inevitably not as musically or thematically concise and poignant as Somewhere City... [but Gami Gang is] like a room full of toys: You can pick up wherever you want and play for as long as you like, and you're bound to end up with a smile on your face.

[18] Post-release, the band spoke of touring in support, but only sparingly when and where it was deemed safe for people to be together during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"[21] The band embarked on an international tour following its release, including North America, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

[15] Heagy cites influence from Barenaked Ladies, Yes, Prince Daddy & The Hyena, Weezer, Lil Uzi Vert, and fellow D.C. emo bands like The Obsessives.
