The band released their debut album, ‘Hope Is Important’ in 1998, which was followed by ‘100 Broken Windows’, in 2000. It wasn’t until the release of ‘The Remote Part’, in 2002, that the band reached mainstream success, with the album reaching #3 in the UK Albums Chart, and the single You Held the World in Your Arms hitting #9 in the UK Singles Chart. ‘Warnings/Promises’ was released in 2005, and reached #9 in the chart, ‘Make Another World’, came out in 2007, and hit #24, and ‘Post Electric Blues’, hit the shelves in 2009, before the band went on hiatus the following year. The band returned in 2013, and released the album, ‘Everything Ever Written’, in 2015.
