Co La's first releases were a number of cassettes issued in 2011, followed by Papaich's proper debut album Daydream Reporter, which incorporated styles of exotica, reggae and girl group music.[2] 2013's Moody Coup was hailed by Pitchfork for being superior to other sound art music for "how naturally it comes together."[3] His 2015 album No No, released on the label Software, applied field recordings to computer-programmed beats, resulting in what The Wire described as "[flittering] between the comical and the disturbing, as fragments of sound flow in and out of its sonic peripheries at an alarming rate."[4]
