Guitarist Brock Woolsey joined in 2011. After two 7-inch singles on Small Plates, their debut LP, Loose Ends, came out on 27 October 2014 as a co-release between Fat Possum and Small Plates. They tracked it mostly live, in about three days. How about that? 'In My Dreams' is track 5, eight minutes of dreamy, shoegaze-leaning guitar rock with long bass lines and the vocals woven in like another instrument. A second album, Bodies in the Sun, followed in 2017.
