Their debut album Outlands, received a worldwide release in 2012 through Ivy League Records. The band have played sold-out tours across venues in Australia, UK and Europe
On 26 October 2018, their second album Blacklight was released. The album was co-produced and mixed by Grammy Award-winning producer Eric J (Flume, The Chemical Brothers) and featured Matt Johnson (Jeff Buckley, St. Vincent) on drums.
Weaver left the band in 2018 and passed away from cancer at the age of 37 in 2021. In 2022, he had a posthumous solo album published of his own compositions entitled Won’t Let Go.
In 2024, McKenzie announced a vinyl reissue of Outlands through Impressed Recordings and revealed that a third studio album, co-produced by and featuring Jay Watson (Tame Impala, Pond), is set for release in 2025 via Origin Recordings / Warner ADA
