In July 2014, the band was named "Ones to Watch" for the second half of 2014 by The Hype Machine for being one of the most blogged artists yet to release a long play album.

The band is independent and self-released their first 7" Single renee/tonka time on December 1, 2013 through the music platform Bandcamp. Their first EP was released in September 2014, and their first album in April 2016.

Artwork for all of the band's releases is done by collage artist and designer Alana Questell.
History

Morgan (guitar, vocals) and Shih (guitar, programming) formed the band in Orlando, Florida after the longtime friends had been recording music together on and off for several years. Their latest musical project, SALES, is based on vocal and instrumental improvisation as well as sampling.

On January 31, 2014, the first day of the Chinese New Year, the band released their second single titled "chinese new year." The band subsequently received positive acclaim from music blogs, including CMJ, Stereogum, and Pigeons and Planes. CMJ described the track as a "...sandy, sashaying tune with singer Lauren Morgan's slightly cooing vocals skipping over upbeat guitars and a little synthy buzz. At least the Year of the Horse is sounding pretty good so far."

On September 16, the band announced the release of their debut EP, along with a remix by fellow Orlando musician XXYYXX. They released their EP, along with a new track titled 'getting it on' on September 22, 2014.
On April 12, 2016, the band hosted a live Twitch stream and listening party where they played tracks from their upcoming self-titled debut and revealed the artwork by Alana Questell.
On August 18, 2016 the band announced via their Facebook page Facebook that an additional member would be joining for their 2016 touring season.
