The group began as a home recording project for founding members, Nic McKenzie (lead singer, songwriter, lyricist) and Nick Weaver (co-composer, bassist, and guitarist) while in their mid-teens, using four-track tape recorders, broadcast microphones, analog synths and unconventional computer programs.
Their debut album Outlands, received a worldwide release in 2012 through Ivy League Records. The band have played sold-out tours across venues in Australia, UK and Europe
On 26 October 2018, their second album Blacklight was released. The album was co-produced and mixed by Grammy Award-winning producer Eric J (Flume, The Chemical Brothers) and featured Matt Johnson (Jeff Buckley, St. Vincent) on drums.[1]
Weaver left the band in 2018 and passed away from cancer at the age of 37 in 2021.[2] In 2022, he had a posthumous solo album published of his own compositions entitled Won’t Let Go.
In 2024, McKenzie announced a vinyl reissue of Outlands through Impressed Recordings and revealed that a third studio album, co-produced by and featuring Jay Watson (Tame Impala, Pond), is set for release in 2025 via Origin Recordings / Warner ADA[3]
