The group formed in 1993 and found inspiration in classic Krautrock groups as well as more current artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:4IwOItqRhsIoRuD5HP4vyC">Slint</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3Rj0tDHoX7C5NFq5DKIpHt">Stereolab</a>. Their untitled 1995 debut was a vinyl-only release. Their 1997 release, Etwas Benutzen, was also their debut for Kitty-Yo, which is also the home of <a href="spotify:artist:0DRlmNJq133uYhzXxJfF3a">To Rococco Rot</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3TjDnMzp8ezc6SgJ7DS9AZ">Tarwater</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3E8MV8Uv6rZCFM7x40tMCg">Surrogat</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0p7ozI1N4mWedQrSw2U4dA">Laub</a>. Two years later, Fantasy arrived and was licensed by Matador Records a year later. In early 2001, they released their fourth proper album, Profane. They switched to Morr Music for 2006's Figur 5. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
