They were legitimately an interesting and popular indie band and I once saw them with a full crowd at the bonnarroo main stage. THought they were great.

Then they just stop making music after like 2017 and some members started doing solo projects

Allegedly they are still together as a band. What gives on these people

it's more surprising that there are still bands making "albums" period. seems like the only way for groups like this to make money is doing the festival circuit

I think Jamie XX calls the shots in this band and he wanted to do solo stuff. Romy has done a decent amount of guest work and did a solo album during this hiatus but it’s really Jamie’s call.
