The group's self titled debut album Lewis Del Mar received support from NPR, Vice, and The New York Times, and led to late night performances on The Late Late Show with James Corden and Conan. Rolling Stone called the lead single "Loud(y)" "A beachside dreamscape with acoustic guitars and electronic drums washing up on shore",[5] while Los Angeles radio station KCRW said it was "one of the best tunes to come out [in 2016]. The album also led to an international headlining tour from 2016–2017, including stops at globally renowned festivals such as Austin City Limits, Outside Lands, and Lollapalooza.

In May 2020, the group announced that their second album August would be released on August 21, 2020.
