Formation (2017-2021)
Henry Faust first began his performing career in college, when he joined the experimental indie rock band the JFP. The group consisted of guitarist and singer Lafayette Compton, bassist Andrew Heiman, and drummer Will Reinke. Reinke's departure from the group in 2019 led Faust to ask his old high school friend Aidan Holmbraker to join the band. Holmbraker declined the offer initially, leading the JFP to break up. Faust and Heiman went on to form a new band called Hypersomnia, which Faust wrote material for. Hypersomnia's sound was faster and more dance-oriented than the long, experimental jams of the JFP. Holmbraker eventually joined the group in February 2020, performing alongside Faust for three months before the group disbanded, leaving the group's first album unfinished.

The break-up of Hypersomnia led Faust and Holmbraker to form a new group that would pick up where Hypersomnia had left off. The two recruited Lulu McDonald, another old high school friend
