The first single, "Clean Kill", was released in February 2020.[6] In May they released "Too Many Husbands".[1]
In 2015, Farina and MacKaye, who played together in The Evens, began playing music with Fugazi and The Messthetics bassist Joe Lally.[7] In 2018, the group played their first show, now with the adopted moniker Coriky, which they'd announced at the bottom of a community bulletin email from Positive Force.[8][9] During early 2020, Coriky released two songs, "Clean Kill" and "Too Many Husbands" via various free streaming services. Although the self-titled debut album was originally set for release on March 27, 2020, the COVID-19 lockdown enacted in the United States during March, 2020, delayed its release until June 12, 2020, in part to accommodate independent record stores closed due to the pandemic.[10][11] The band eventually previewed their album at a free show in D.C.'s St. Stephen and the Incarnation Episcopal Church on February 22, 2020.[12]
