Intro

-based trio consisting of lead vocalist Chelsea Lee and multi-instrumentalist twins Max and Spencer Ernst. Originally performing as a folk-rock outfit called The Walking Sticks, the group underwent a radical sonic pivot toward electropop and dream-pop around 2016, coinciding with their name change.

This evolution allowed them to blend Lee's soulful, Atlantic Records-trained vocal power with the twins' interest in digital production and minimalist arrangements. Their sound identity is characterized by heavy use of falsetto, syncopated 'snap' rhythms, and a clean, high-fidelity aesthetic that bridges the gap between indie-pop and contemporary R&B. They achieved massive commercial success with the 2018 single 'Trampoline,' which became a multi-platinum hit after being featured in a high-profile Apple commercial. Critically, they are noted for their ability to maintain a 'human' soulfulness within a highly polished electronic framework. C. indie scene to global pop relevance, maintaining a tight-knit, family-based creative unit throughout.
