They signed with 4AD Records and released their 2012 debut Shrines, which received critical attention. Their distinctive blend of indie electronic, dream pop, and vocal-driven atmospheric production has positioned them as a defining contemporary indie electronic act alongside contemporaries like Grimes, the xx, and James Blake.
