The Booyah! Kids went off to their respective colleges, Bard, Oberlin, and New Paltz. Holed up in dorm rooms hundreds of miles apart, they exchanged short demos over iMessage, which they spliced together over the course of a year. These recordings formed the foundation of their debut album, Bedroom Headroom. Featuring hazy reverbed vocals layered over synth-pop beats, the album made a small splash with indie pop fans but quickly faded into the background.
