The band formed in 2010 after meeting at the Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney.

After taking over a space in a run down building known as Hibernian House in the inner Sydney suburb of Surry Hills, the band set about creating their own rehearsal and recording studio,  and named it Doldrums.
Their second EP was recorded at Doldrums with Jack Moffitt at the helm, producing and mixing. It marked a major turning point for the band as the lead single and title track ‘Is This How You Feel’ became a breakthrough hit, earning both popular and critical acclaim in Australia and Internationally.

For the follow up to Blue Planet Eyes, The Preatures decided to write and record their second album in its entirety at Doldrums.
