Edina joined in 2018 after meeting Eric while recording her own album, replacing a previous keyboardist. None of the members play music full time. The band released their first EP, California Nebula, in the spring of 2017, and were signed to Shanghai-based SJ-Records shortly after. The EP was nominated for “Best Indie-Pop Album” at Douban Music’s Abby Road Awards. Default have opened for bands like Slowdive and The Bilinda Butchers, and will commence a 10-city China tour in promotion of their full-length debut album, Life in a Vacuum.
