In 2006 they completed a UK tour in support of their first proper album Voices of Animals and Men, which reached number 21 in the UK album charts. In July 2007 they were nominated for the Nationwide Mercury Prize. Their second album Superabundance entered the charts in March 2008 at number 28. Their new album Ornaments From The Silver Arcade was released in April 2011.
