History
Murray met Hughes by chance at a train stop in London when the train was diverted to an alternate station.[1] Murray is originally from England and Hughes grew up in Arizona and Texas, then moved to England for a number of years to pursue a life in music.[2]
Still Corners self-released their debut EP, Remember Pepper?, on 13 June 2008, followed by a 7-inch single, "Don't Fall in Love", released by UK label The Great Pop Supplement on 30 August 2010.
The duo signed with record label Sub Pop in 2011 and issued their full-length debut, Creatures of an Hour, to favourable reviews.[3]
In October 2012, the band released a new single, "Fireflies",[4] which was named "Best New Track" by Pitchfork.[5]
The band released their second album, Strange Pleasures, on Sub Pop on 7 May 2013. The second single, "Berlin Lovers", received widespread coverage.[6][7][8]
Still Corners released their third album, Dead Blue, on 16 September 2016 on their own Wrecking Light Records label. They shared the video for the album's first single, "Lost Boys".[9]
On 18 August 2018, the band released their fourth album, Slow Air, via Wrecking Light Records. Following the release, they toured extensively in Europe, North America, and Asia.
Their fifth album, The Last Exit, again via Wrecking Light Records, was released on 22 January 2021. The album was preceded by three (digital) singles. The band also announced a European tour in October 2021 in support of the new album on their website.[10]
