In 2020, the band planned to release their debut LP, but in light of the COVID-19 outbreak decided to instead write and record two singles remotely while locked down in quarantine. The singles were independently released on July 2. After the pandemic, Arias began work on a new music with a new line up including some members of his former band Golden Animals. In February 2023, the band released their first two studio singles—"High Sierra Lows" and "Long-While". Later that same year the band released two additional singles—"Fernwood Ave." and "Upstairs". In March 2024, the band released their debut EP Raindrops on the Open Road, recorded at Fonogenic Studios in Van Nuys, California and produced and engineered by Arias' friend Rocco Guarino.
