2015–2021: First Contact

The project began while Amy was in high school; at the time Josh was studying biomedical science and working in fashion, from the age of 8 he studied classical music.[9][10] Drummers Dave Jenkins and Shane Benson are interchangeably added to the band's lineup for live performances.[11]

In 2017 Lastlings embarked on an Australian regional tour with Rüfüs Du Sol,[12] they joined the band nationally in 2019 before supporting them throughout the United States.[13][14] The same year they featured on triple j's Mix Up program for an hour long DJ set.[15]

2022–present: Perfect World

In October 2022, Lastlings released single "Get What You Want" via Rose Avenue Records.[16] This was followed by "Holding Me Like Water" in January and "Noise" in March 2023. The duo's second studio album, Perfect World is scheduled for release in June 2023.[17] In an album review, Alex Gallagher from NME said "While the production feels crisp and contemporary, Perfect World feels grounded in one of dance music's oldest traditions: prioritising emotional connection above all. When singer Amy Dowdle's impassioned vocals soar over shimmering synths and electronic drums, the songs on Perfect World – at their peak – feel at once utterly euphoric and devastating."[18]
