Findlay started playing the guitar when she was around 15 and after about a year began writing songs. She took up music for the simple fact that she wasn't into anything else growing up. She joked that "(she) can't really do anything else."[2]
On 24 November 2013, Findlay released her second EP Greasy Love.[1] However, after disagreements with her record label, Polydor, Findlay was granted a release from her contract with the company.[3]
Findlay soon created her own label Mint Records and signed with BMG. On 9 February 2015 the video for the single "Electric Bones" was released online and the Electric Bones EP was released digitally on 4 September 2015. In March 2015 Findlay released the single "Wolfback" which samples from the Ratatat song "Loud Pipes".[4] The video for "Junk Food" premiered on 4 November 2015 on Clash.[5]
To start off 2017, the single "Waste My Time" was released in January, followed by the release of Findlay's debut studio album Forgotten Pleasures on 3 March 2017.[6]
In June 2019, Findlay announced she was working on her second studio album via Instagram post. In 2019, she also started a new project called Ttrruuces along with her debut album's co-producer Jules Apollinaire. Their self-titled debut album was released on 26 June 2020.[7][8]
In September 2021, Findlay released her new single "Life is but a Dream".
Findlay released her second studio album, Last Of The 20th Century Girls, on May 13, 2022.[9]
