[1] Initially comprising Alice Johnson, Lewis Bunting, Matt Mitchell, and Nairn Milne,[2] they released their debut single, "Sway", in February 2019.

[5] "Outside" was written about cutting toxic people out of their lives,[8][11] while "Love Story" was added after the band decided to incorporate a cover into the set and rummaged through some Spotify playlists.

[20] Two weeks after Duality was released, the band re-released that album's track "Bored", a more positive derivative of "Delirious", in an attempt to surprise their fans.

[5] The band have also cited as influences Jaws, Pale Waves, Palace,[29] Foals, The Cure, Ben Howard, Boards of Canada, Paolo Nutini,[30] My Bloody Valentine, and the Smashing Pumpkins.

[31] Writing in July 2021, Sophie Williams of NME described the band's works as indie pop,[34] while Johnson's vocals were described by Skiddle in January 2024 as having a "Hayley Williams-esque delivery".

[35] Finlay Holden of Dork described Making Sense of It All as a mix of indie rock, grunge, and dream pop,[36] while Mala Mortensa of Alternative Press described "Let Me Inside Your Head"'s vibe as "expect[able] from a Halsey-fronted version of Nirvana"[7] and Andy Von Pip of Under the Radar noted that their rendition of "Love Story" "turned a sweet, romantic optimistic pop song into a heavy dystopian doom rocker".
