Timeshare EP

In 2013, Vidmar released his first single, "Under Attack", on SoundCloud.

Subsequently, his debut EP Timeshare was released in October of that year, garnering positive attention from many music publications and blogs.

Following the success of Timeshare, Shy Girls toured as the opening act for Haim on their 2014 US tour. Later that year he also went on to tour as the opening act for neo soul godfather Maxwell and Swedish electronic act Little Dragon.
