In addition to acclaimed studio LPs like Little Seeds (2016), By Blood (2019), and Something Is Working Up Above My Head (2024), the pair have released multiple volumes of their popular Busted Jukebox covers series, which has seen them collaborate with a wide array of artists like Brandi Carlile, the Milk Carton Kids, M.
