Career

The band was formed by frontman Murray Matravers in mid-2017.[2][3] They released their first single, "Pockets", via Chess Club Records in November 2017,[4] and subsequently signed to Island Records.[3] They released their debut mixtape Creature Habits in April 2018.[5] Following the release of the singles "Frank" in July 2018[6] and "Nightmares" in September 2018,[7] the band appeared on Later... with Jools Holland.[8] The band finished 2018 by releasing their fourth single, "Temporary Love Part 1" (with B-side "Temporary Love Part 2"), in December.[9] In 2022 they took to Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage, this was their second Glastonbury appearance and a remarkable step-up from their first on BBC Introducing. They featured alongside former Brockhampton member Kevin Absract, who joined them on stage and promptly forgot his verse.

They released their second mixtape, Spaceships, containing the single "Sunday" in March.[10] They headlined the BBC Introducing stage at the Glastonbury Festival in June.[11] Debuting as Annie Mac's "Hottest Record" on BBC Radio 1 in July, the band released the single "Earth". The music video, commenting on environmental issues, was shot at a plastic recycling plant in Morocco.[12]

The band released their debut album Life's a Beach on 28 May 2021.^{[citation needed]}
