The band broke through in 2013 with the ubiquitous hit ‘Is This How You Feel?’, and followed it up with two albums
Blue Planet Eyes in 2014 and
Girlhood in 2017.
Singer Isabella Manfredi spoke frankly about the band’s split on triple j yesterday, saying the breakdown of her relationship with guitarist Jack Moffitt, and an “antiquated record deal” that they couldn’t get out of and weren’t making any money from, were the two main reasons for the breakup.
“If anyone’s ever gone through a breakup, it’s really hard to keep working with that person,” she told Drive hosts Hobba and Hing. “There was dynamics there that were really unhealthy, which just meant in the end for me, I had to get myself out of there. For me, the band was my family and I was so committed to it. But for my heart and my music, I had to take myself away and start again.

Speaking on the radio station, Izzi said that ultimately while it’s “quite a long, complex story” there were two different reasons for the split.
The band was “in a really antiquated record deal that we couldn’t get out of. And it meant that we couldn’t support ourselves financially. That was a big issue and obviously with COVID that became forefront at our minds.”
“At the same time, my 10-year relationship with Jack [Moffitt, Preatures guitarist and producer] was over. And if anyone’s ever gone through a break-up, it’s really hard to keep working with that person.”
