It was at this time when she released her first EP titled customs, and began touring across the US. Miller would later move to Ohio, where she attended and graduated from Oberlin College. In early 2022, Deer Scout signed with Carpark Records and announced her debut full-length album, Woodpecker. The album was released on April 8. The album was recorded with Ko Takasugi-Czernowin, whom she met while attending college, and Zuzia Weyman.
