The band formed in 2007 when Powers and Xayalith were working on what became two extended plays — This Machine and No Light —that they recorded with engineer Aaron Short, a fellow student at Auckland’s Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand . The EPs were subsequently released on local independent label Round Trip Mars. Powers and Xayalith began performing live with Ben Knapp and Jordan Clark on bass and drums respectively, while Aaron Short became a performing member of the group. Knapp and Clark left the group in 2009 and were subsequently replaced with Jesse Wood and David Beadle.
