The four members, who have been involved in various musical activities individually, got together and started sessions in their home studio in 2020.

The members have been influenced by indie pop, indie rock, acid jazz, R&B, northern soul, neo-soul, and other backgrounds, and sublimate them into alternative music.The new vintage soul-pop music is the result of the band's obsessive efforts to create music with a groove and originality that feels like their "now"!

In July 2021, they released their first single 'Keep It Goin'' at Record Store Day. Despite being an unknown band, it was sold in record shops in seven countries, including the USA, the UK and Germany, and became a hot topic of conversation. The long-awaited second single 'Big Plaid' will be released on Record Day in December 2022 in Japan, and both the first and second singles will feature couplings by Toru Hashimoto (SUBURBIA), who is popular for his "Free Soul" and "Cafe Apres-midi" series, has listened to the demos of each song and selected the couplings for both the first and second singles.
