Their earliest practices were spent shivering around a single heater while ensconced in an abandoned trailer in rural Maryland.
While the band had a collection of demos recorded mainly to book gigs, they were approached by Brooklyn-based Engine Room Recordings to release a selection of the songs on a 7-inch entitled Midsommar.
They have made appearances at SXSW, NXNE, Art Basel and CMJ, and have been featured in music publications such as Esquire, SPIN, The New York Times, The Washington Post and NPR.
