Continuing on as a duo, with Quintanilla handling the guitar and vocals and González doing everything else plus some guitar too, the Guadalajara, Mexico-based musicians released their first album, On Welfare, in May of 2011 for Captcha Records. The next year they released a single, Ghost Archives, that was mastered by Bitchin Bajas' keyboardist, Cooper Crain, at the start of a long working relationship. By now the duo had relocated to Mexico City and their home-recorded, Crain-mastered second album, Corruptible Faces, was released by Captcha in early 2013. The duo toured widely throughout the year, with bassist Francisco Lozano and drummer Carlos González rounding out the lineup. Their live sound at this time was documented on the Live in Mexico City 12" that was issued in mid-2013. Meanwhile, they already had another album ready to go, having headed into the studio (Chicago's MINBAL) with a team of Cooper Crain, Mikale de Graff, and Alex Narinskiy at the controls. The resulting Chambers was their most accomplished album to date, made even more special by having one of their heroes, Spacemen 3's Sonic Boom, in charge of the mastering. It was released in early 2014 by Captcha and the U.K. label Sonic Cathedral.

Around this time the duo relocated to the less hectic town of Ensenada, Baja California to work on their music full-time and establish a better base for touring the U.S., which they did throughout 2014. One of the highlights was playing the Austin Psych Fest; another was a sold-out show in London that was preserved on vinyl and released in 2014 as Live in London by Sonic Cathedral. Their backing band at the time included drummer Dario Lucchesi and bassist Fernando Nuti of the Italian group the New Candys. González and Quintanilla returned home from the road and began working on their next album. Instead of the two days in the studio they had to record Chambers, they took their time with the record, going so far as to record two versions of each song, one done by each of the duo. They would then select the version that sounded better or fit the mood they were trying to capture overall. The record, titled Balance, was again mixed by Cooper Crain, and mastered this time by the very prolific Australian producer Mikey Young. It was released by the team of Captcha and Sonic Cathedral in September of 2016. ~ Tim Sendra
