Five years after forming the Living Tombstone, Landau moved to the United States where he met vocalist Sam Haft (born 1990 ). Haft had previously been involved with other musical projects in the past, such as the comedic music group Sam & Bill. Landau and Haft sent each other their songs before eventually collaborating on music, with Haft becoming an official member of the Living Tombstone. The pair wrote songs such as a remix of Super Mario Odyssey ‘s “Jump Up Superstar” in which Haft contributed backing vocals, and the original track “My Ordinary Life” which was cited by LA Weekly as their most popular song. Both Landau and Haft worked on the worldbuilding for the Living Tombstone, including the characters, story, and lore surrounding the group’s music and videos. The attention their music received online caused Warner Music to notice the band, and the record label signed the Living Tombstone.
