O'Brien, a member of Radiohead, had been writing music for years, but lacked confidence and felt his songs would not fit with Radiohead. After abandoning plans to make electronic music while living for a period in Brazil, he made demo recordings with the producer Ian Davenport in 2014, then recorded with Flood from late 2017 to early 2019.
Earth received mostly favourable reviews. O'Brien began a North American tour in February 2020; the full Earth tour was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
