Early in their career, they gained attention with their critically acclaimed debut album, "The Dust of Retreat," in 2006 and followed up with a spate of releases that showcased their evolving sound.

Throughout their career, Margot & The Nuclear So and So's distinguished themselves with emotionally resonant songs that often dealt with themes of love, loss, and existential yearning.
