The reality is, we're much more interested in creating things for the future than things from the past. We are nostalgic people, not in the sense that we long for a different time, because we love the present, but how could we not be reminded of the past when every day, we see the person we had a crush on since 7th grade?"〔 In late 2013 they signed with Last Gang Records and Secretly Canadian.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CBC Music - Free Streaming Radio, Videos, Songs, Concerts & Playlists )〕 On September 30, 2014 the band released their debut album "Innerworld" through Last Gang Records in Canada and Secretly Canadian in the rest of the world.
