The duo's 2017 album Reassemblage, released on RVNG Intl., introduced the duo's cross-influenced sound, taking inspiration from new age music, Italian minimalism and Japanese ambient music.[3] The record received the "Best New Music" accolade from Pitchfork,[4] and was named an "Album Pick" by AllMusic.[5] The duo's subsequent release Lex (2017) used software programmes to create electronic tranquil melodies, similarly to Reassembalge.[3]
