They released their debut album High Pitched and Moist in 2019 on the label Trannytone Records. When asked about the heavily processed vocals on the album in an interview for the zine FEM, they explained that "by pitching [their voice] up an octave and auto-tuning it, it became a voice I could identify with and an instrument I wanted to work with".
Their music also appeared on the Norwegian TV series Skam. They have co-produced the song "A Part of Us" on Fever Ray's 2017 album Plunge and toured with them.
