Careeredit

Originally from Nixa, Missouri,[7] Hoffmann moved to Memphis in 2007 to attend the local art college, where she studied photography and design.[8] The band began in 2011 as a collaboration between Watson and Hoffmann while they were both members of other local bands.[9] Hoffmann was a member of Ex-Cult while Watson played with the Manatees.[10][11] They were joined by Laurel Ferndon on drums. The name was taken from a Twister-inspired collage that Hoffmann had created.[12]

The band made a demo tape that they submitted to Goner Records who decided to release it as an EP.[8] Their debut release, Dust Red appeared in October 2013,[13] and was followed by the single "Fix" b/w "Modern" in June 2014.[14] Both were produced by Keith Cooper.[15] Ferndon left in early 2014, as Hoffmann and Watson prepared to record their album with Doug Easley at the helm.[16] They recruited Alexandra Eastburn on keyboards and Meredith Lones on bass as replacements while Watson moved to drums.[16] Hoffman described the recording process as "since it was a new lineup, and I think you can definitely feel this sort of combined intensity and really stubborn determination that was stewing when we recorded the album".[15] In the same year the band also performed at the SXSW festival.[17] The digital-only single "Decadence" appeared on October supported by a video directed by Geoffrey Brent Shrewsbury.[18][19] The track "Reactor" was made available in the same month.[20] On November 11, 2014, the album We Are Nots was released in North America,[21][22] while they embarked on their first headlining tour around America.[23]

In June 2015, they released the single "Virgin Mary" b/w "Shelf Life" on Goner, while the latter was made available on streaming platforms.[24][25] In September 2015 the band signed to Heavenly Records for European releases.[6] Their debut album was re-released in November of the same year, followed by an eight-date European tour.[26]

In September 2016, the band released their second album entitled Cosmetic.[27] it was preceded by the single "Entertain Me".[28]

Since graduating, Hoffmann also works as a visual artist and instructor at the Memphis College of Art.[29]

On May 10, 2019, the band will release their third album 3.[30]
