In 2011, the BBC became aware of Rae Morris and gave her the opportunity to perform at the Reading and Leeds Festival . As a result, she signed contracts with Universal and Atlantic Records .

Her first collaboration with record labels resulted in the single Don't Go , which was used as the soundtrack for the Skins series in 2012 . In the summer of 2013 she went to Los Angeles and recorded her debut album with producer Ariel Rechtshaid .

More singles and EPs followed, of which Under the Shadows made it into the UK charts in 2015 as the first of their releases . Also in 2015, their debut album was released under the title Unguarded , which rose to number 9 in the charts. The album was rated 77/100 by Metacritic . Allmucis reviewer Matt Collar described the music as "captivating, hypnotic pop" with an atmosphere that evokes the Kate Bush of the 80s.
