This foundational release featured the single ‘A Drowning,’ distributed as digital downloadable content, and the track ‘The Space in Between,’ which premiered with a music video on Pitchfork in May 2010. A third track, ‘The Believers,’ was made available via Wired magazine’s iPad application and as a complimentary digital download from the band’s official website, subsequently appearing on the soundtrack for the 2011 film Limitless.

Their EPs and album charted on prestigious Billboard lists, including the Billboard 200, Alternative Albums, and Dance/Electronic Albums. Additionally, their EPs made an impact on the Independent Albums chart and secured positions on the competitive UK Album Downloads Chart. Acclaimed musician Alessandro Cortini joined the band for their 2013 tour, contributing to a series of impactful performances. The band concluded this active period, entering a hiatus in 2015.
