Their latest EP, “Beverly & Barbara”, has garnered 8m+ streams and peaked at #2 internationally on Apple’s Alternative chart, beating out Billie Eilish.
LA Weekly noted “their single Phantom Limb cracked the Top 40 Radio charts… and by the looks of it - they aren’t anywhere near finished with the climb.” Buzznet called the Bad People EP “the future of synthpop”.
