Jesse Hofstee, Hillary Laughery and Dylan Stallard started writing songs, recording and playing together with no purpose aside of blind ambition and the search for a new feeling. With the release of their debut EP, Eclipse, in 2017 and the appropriately titled, double-single, Two Love Songs in 2018, the band toured and had successes getting music placements, including on the TV show "Shameless". But 2019 took them in various directions, focusing on other artistic pursuits, and then the pandemic hit.
After bassist Seancarlo Ohlin joined the band during the summer of 2022, the desire to make a full-length record surfaced, and writing shifted into overdrive, with a goal of creating an environment where these songs could really live. In this case, it is their imagined version of '70s New York City. Various stories weave through the album with a diverse range of sounds and styles all glued together with the voices and production that they were able to achieve with producer Trevor Spencer (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, Beach House).
The "Vultures" single, pulls from classic tones and pairs it with modern ideas. Discussing, Hofstee notes, "'Vultures' is a story about someone leaving their hometown to go to the city and 'make it big'. It's about change, taking risks and finding yourself, but also a cautionary tale about the vultures that will take advantage of people that are finding themselves, and send them in the wrong direction. It was one of the first songs we wrote for the record that started to lay the groundwork for the sound and idea of this being a record about the city."
