History
In 2017, Geowulf released their debut extended play (EP), Relapse, containing four songs including "Saltwater", their first single.[3][4] "Saltwater" was originally released as a single in 2016, and was a part of the 37 Adventures compilation album Odd Numbers Volume 1.[5]
Geowulf's debut studio album, Great Big Blue, was released on 16 February 2018.[6] Their second studio album, My Resignation, was released on 25 October 2019. The singles "I See Red", "He's 31", "Lonely" and "My Resignation" were all released in advance of the album.[7][8][9]
In September 2021, Geowulf released the single "I've Been Over It", their first release of new music in nearly two years. This would be followed by several singles over the next year: "Open Me Up", "Drown", "Lover That Waits" and "Whirlwind". All five singles formed the EP Whirlwind, released on 15 July 2022 to coincide with the single of the same name.
In December 2022, Star Kendrick announced that Toma Banjanin would be taking a step back from Geowulf, effectively turning it into Kendrick's solo project. The single "Must Be a Woman" marked the first Geowulf release without Banjanin.[10] This was followed by the singles "Slow Dance" and "Lovestruck", all of which would appear on Kendrick's third EP Woman, released in 2023.
Geowulf's third studio album The Child was released on 17 January 2025, and was preceded by six singles. Kendrick continued releasing singles throughout 2025, which culminated in the release of the four-song EP Twinkly Depression on 24 October. The EP was preceded by the singles "Broken Hearts", "Top Down" and "Champagne", as well as the standalone single "Visions of Ourselves".
