Prior to forming Distant Cousins, Dov Rosenblatt was the lead singer of the Jewish rock band Blue Fringe, while Duvid Swirsky was a founding member of the band Moshav. Swirsky, Rosenblatt, and Kozak met in Los Angeles in 2012 while their respective bands were playing a show together. Upon hearing a song Swirsky and Rosenblatt had written, "When We Love", Kozak offered to produce it, and the three subsequently began playing together.[1] The name Distant Cousins, a reference to the members' longtime familiarity with each other, was first used when writing a song for the 2013 film Coffee Town.[2]
Their debut EP, the self-titled Distant Cousins EP, was released on September 16, 2014. A second EP of the same name was released the following year, and a debut full-length album, Next of Kin, released in 2019.
