They released their first single, "Tin King," from their second album on BBC Radio 6 on January 14, 2020. The album, Sister, released on March 13, 2020.[4]

Discography
gollark: Like the internet, and how it's based on a pile of messy hacks which barely hold together well enough to route traffic and everything.
gollark: A lot of social structures we have around probably came about through random chance, convenience or compromise rather than principled ground-up design.
gollark: But at most points I don't think most people went around getting to decide on exactly what their values were and building societies to best embody them.
gollark: It's probably some complex bidirectional thing.
gollark: If your ethical system is "the greatest good is maximizing the number of paperclips in existence", it's entirely sensible to try and overthrow existing society to make paperclips.
