The band self released their debut album in 2012 before releasing Belighted in September 2014. In 2015 they toured Europe with labels mates, the art-progressive outfit Gazpacho.
Lighthouse is a rich and eclectic album, with echoes of classical music, the Canterbury scene, northern folk, jazz and electronic sounds.

Lyrically, the works and lives of Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath inspire the album.
