Name

About the band's name, Leonard said in an interview:[2]

It's basically a description of the human being. What separates us from animals is our tendency (or necessity) to give a meaning to our surroundings. It's also part of the song "Bulletproof" from Spock's latest album which, once written, John added to his long list of bands/albums names.

History

The band was put together to perform some music that Boegehold had been writing in 2018, with Leonard and Meros co-writing some of the material. They eventually agreed to turn it into a band[2][3] and now intend to release one album every year and go on tour with additional session musicians.[1]

After signing with Inside Out Music, the band released its first, self-titled album on July 5, 2019.[4][3] The second album, Prehensile Tales, came out less than a year later, on May 15, 2020.[5]
