Two years later, the duo released signed to
In July 2014, "Laughing," a 7" which contains a previously unreleased B-side track called "Bedouin Tramps" was released on Infinity Cat Recordings. It has an "off-kilter propulsive beat" [13] that "will make you want to get all sweaty and bust a move in someone’s basement party."[14] After its release, the duo toured the East Coast with Chain and the Gang. They also toured with What Cheer? Brigade, Dope Body, and Sex Jams.
In September 2014, the Baltimore City Paper voted them as the Best Band in Baltimore.[15]
In December 2014, the single "Sermon" was featured in Alan Resnick's short film Unedited Footage of a Bear, airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. In October 2017, the song "Humbucker Blues" from the then-upcoming Riddles was used for the Adult Swim/Wham City streaming mini-series The Cry of Mann: A Trool Day Holiday Spectacular.
In March 2018, the group released their third album Riddles, featuring the single "Dunce". The album was produced and co-written by Dan Deacon. Writing in Pitchfork's review of Riddles, Nina Corcoran described this collaboration as "a new musical direction... By lacing arms with Dan Deacon, the duo throw themselves into an auspicious zone, creating an album that remains introspective even at its wildest moments."[16]
