The band released three full-length albums, all produced by Jim Sclavunos (Grinderman, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds). While initially a quartet, the band saw the addition of guitarist Nico Carew in 2014, but he would leave the band in 2015 to focus on his other group (X-Ray Cat Trio[3]) and was subsequently replaced by Federica Gialanze.[4] Their second album, Condemned to Hope, had its cover created by Roger Dean.[2] It generated mixed to positive reviews from reputable websites like TeamRock,[5] Prog[6] and PopMatters.[7]
In September 2019, the band announced the end of their activities, with a farewell show booked for 6 December of the same year.[8]
