History

The band released their self-titled debut album on their own label, Laser Ghost Recordings. Despite the lack of a publicity campaign, they received support from disc jockey Steve Lamacq and their debut sold more than 5000 copies by "word of mouth."[1][2] The band will be releasing their 2013 follow-up album, Lights, produced by band member Michael Savage and engineered by Tim Allen and Get the Blessing bassist Jim Barr, on 2 December 2013, via Invada Records.[1][3][4][5]

The band's song, "Fragile" was remixed by English composer Clint Mansell. The remix was eventually released as a limited edition single for Record Store Day.[1][2][6]
