The initial lineup included Joe Goldring on guitar, Kevin Thomson on guitar, and Yuma Joe Byrnes on drums. Their debut album, End Note, was released on Neurot Recordings in 2004, followed by Output Negative Space in 2006. In 2007, they released the single-sided twelve-inch single "The Achievement" through Awesome Vistas and the follow-up album Tundra (2008). After a hiatus and lineup changes, the band returned with the 2011 album Blown Realms And Stalled Explosions. Their subsequent albums include The Rightful Pivot (2015), Zones (2019), and Some Gift (2022).
