While the band originated in Albuquerque, New Mexico, they signed to Sub Pop Records and moved to Oregon in 2002 just before the release of their breakout album Chutes Too Narrow. Their latest album Wincing the Night Away was released in 2007 and earned them a Grammy nomination for "Best Alternative Music Album."
