"There was this slow dissolution rather than just a cancellation, and we felt so worn out from the momentum loss. "At first, we kept pushing the tour back further into the summer because no one had any idea what was going on," explains Nichols.

Their second album, Until I'm Light, arrived April 14 as the pair's first full-length since rebranding to Felt Out. "You're taking on the world as it is, and literally riding life as best as you can rather than trying to twist reality into what you want it to be."Ģ019's Superfluid, released under former name Emme, introduced listeners to the pair's equally ambient and danceable take on synth-pop.
