Their fourth album Last Leg of the Human Table (2025) was released by Closed Casket Activities.
The band formed in summer 2012 in Chesterton, Indiana. Lead singer and guitarist Doyle Martin was previously in the bands Grown Ups and Lion of the North, and bassist Bobby Markos was in the band Native, and had met through performing on bills together. Their name was intended as a double meaning, being both a room where clothes are stored and political corruption. The band signed to Run For Cover Records in 2013. The band released their first extended play, titled Infinity, in 2013 via Run For Cover.
In 2014, the band released a single "Lossed Over," also on Run For Cover. On January 20, 2015, the band released their debut album, Further Out, via Run For Cover Records. The album was produced by Matt Talbott of the band Hum. That year, they opened for Brand New after Jesse Lacey and his wife listened to Further Out. In the fall of 2016, they announced a tour of the UK and EU in support of Russian Circles. On June 20, 2017, the band announced that they would be releasing their second album, Time Well, via Relapse Records on August 18. On February 1, 2018, the band announced a two-week European tour with the band Caspian.
On November 30, 2021, the band announced that they would be releasing their third album, Dissolution Wave, via Relapse Records on January 28, 2022. Promotional materials for the album describe the album as "a space western in which an act of theoretical physics — the dissolution wave — wipes out all of humanity's existing art and abstract thought." A music video was released for the song "A Force at Play". The album features a guest appearance from Hum frontman Matt Talbott.
On October 28, 2024, it was announced that the band had signed with Closed Casket Activities, and concurrently released a new single, "Unbelonging," from their then-upcoming fourth album. Last Leg of the Human Table was released on February 28, 2025.
