Their debut EP, towncryer, released in September 2023, garnered attention from outlets like NTS Radio, KCRW, and Complex for its visceral and sentimental sound .

The EP features tracks like “el prado freestyle,” which originated from their first jam session, and “Limewire,” noted for its hushed and drowsy energy .

In 2024, untitled (halo) continued to evolve their sound with singles such as “sKill isSue” and “that’s honey,” blending elements of trip-hop, shoegaze, and indie-pop.

Their music often reflects themes of youthful hope and world-weariness, drawing inspiration from films like Dazed and Confused and Out of the Blue .

The band has performed at venues like Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right and participated in events such as Pitchfork Fest London.

They maintain a DIY ethic, handling aspects like music video direction and editing themselves, and have expressed a desire to inspire others through their art
