There are many versions of this story, but at its core, the band came together from multiple directions at once—no one really knows exactly how or when. It all started with friends making music together. Henriette and Rasmus found themselves playing endlessly, discovering new ways to express their music until "it all just clicked." Meanwhile, Mårten, Villads, and Rasmus happened to play a small dance gig in the suburbs of Scania. Then Emil, Rasmus, Villads, Mårten, and Henriette found themselves gathered in a recording studio. At that moment, Rasmus and Henriette realized—this was simply too good not to turn into a band.
