Their debut album The Vacancy (2018), released on Century Media via Periphery's own 3DOT Recordings imprint, trades metal for ambient textures, deep synthesis, and groove-oriented electronic production informed by Bowen's prior solo release Isometric (2015) and Mansoor's extensive production and mixing background. A follow-up, 1000 Needles, was subsequently released through 3DOT Recordings.
