History

The band formed in Brooklyn in 2016 and initially consisted of Bartees Strange, Chris Johns, Vishnu Anantha, and Bryn Nieboer. All the band's members were transplants; Strange was from Yukon, Oklahoma, Johns from Hockessin, Delaware, Anatha from Wayne, Pennsylvania, and Nieboer from Los Angeles. Their debut EP, As You Were was released in April 2017,[1] followed by The Sea Engulfs Us and the Light Goes Out in 2018. That same year, the band released the collaborative EP Balancing Acts with Good Looking Friends, and The Final Girl, a with Dad Thighs and Great Weights.

In 2018, following Bartees Strange's departure to pursue a solo career, Chris Lawless joined the band on guitar and vocals.[2] On April 10, 2020 the band's debut studio album, Viewing was released by No Sleep Records, during the coronavirus pandemic.[3][4][5] The album was met with positive critical reception.[6][2][7]

On the one hand, your band name is plugged into the cultural consciousness in a deep and heavy way. On the other hand, people are going to have a hell of a time Googling your band.
