Peaking Lights' music has been described as psychedelic pop.[2] The band originally formed in 2008, performing live in order to fund a road trip to Texas, at which point they self-released the cd-r Clearvoiant (later released on cassette via Night-People).[3]

The couple's son Mikko contributed vocals to their third album, Lucifer.[4][5] In 2013 their second son Marlon was born. They were among the "friends" that contributed in 2013 to The Flaming Lips' The Time Has Come To Shoot You Down…What A Sound, a reworking of the Stone Roses' debut album. [6]
