They achieved a career breakthrough in 2012 with their debut studio album, Phrases to Break the Ice, which was released through the label XYZ Berlin and led to a publishing deal with BMG. The group received significant praise from British music publications including NME, Q, and Clash, and their single âCampfireâ (2013) reached Number 1 on the Hype Machine blog chart. Their discography includes the studio albums Pine Trails (2013), Vagabonds (2015), and Young Detectives (2017). The ensembleâs final studio recording, Cut Out the Lights, was released in 2018 before the band disbanded later that year.
