The group released their debut EP, Play, in 2013, which featured improvisational jazz musician Steve Davit. Two years later, they announced the availability of another EP, Sway. The New York Times published a review of the duo after the release of Play, comparing them to other well-known electronic and R&B-influenced groups. They made their television debut on The Late Late Show with James Corden in September 2015. A track that appears on both EPs, "One Time", entered the top 40 on US alternative radio in December 2015. The duo released four singles throughout 2016, leading up to their debut album; Act One.

History

After meeting each other at Haverford High School, Jeremy Lloyd studied music theatre at Yale University, Samantha Gongol music business at New York University, and Steve Davit music industry at Drexel University. "Whisky", the first song Lloyd and Gongol ever wrote together, describes a woman in control of her own sexuality. They moved on to create songs like "Lips" and "Got It", mixtures of blues, jazz, heavy bass, and delicate vocals. After their first collaboration with Davit, the audience demanded more saxophone, resulting in the sound produced by the duo and their current collaborator.
