Their early endeavors culminated with the release of their first album, Feel Time, in March 2014.

Music from the Feel Time album was played on the radio in both Atlanta, Georgia and Los Angeles, California.
In October 2014, all five members of the band travelled to a house in Mississippi to record their sophomore album, Great River.

Their song Incantation was played on AM radio in Montreal, Canada by the independent music radio show Killer Baby Tomatoes.
Following the April 24, 2015 release of Great River, the album received a favorable review from Girl Underground Music: "In the midst of the revival of 60's psychedelic sounds currently on the music market, it can become difficult breaking away from primarily being thrown under this genre.

In May 2015, Great River was featured as one of LAist.com's top 5 albums of the month.
