About the band's name, Leonard said in an interview:

History

The band was put together to perform some music that Boegehold had been writing in 2018, with Leonard and Meros co-writing some of the material. They eventually agreed to turn it into a band and now intend to release one album every year and go on tour with additional session musicians.
After signing with Inside Out Music, the band released its first, self-titled album on July 5, 2019. The second album, Prehensile Tales, came out less than a year later, on May 15, 2020, and was positively reviewed by Prog.
Their third album, Only Passing Through, was released on April 1, 2022. Their fourth album, Spooky Action at a Distance, was released on October 27, 2023.
