Originally starting out as a three-piece, guitarist Joe Gosney, drummer Liam Kearley, and bassist Andrew Gosden had already started to create waves within the music scene as the post-rock trio Shrine. The addition of fellow Brighton, U.K.-based vocalist Will Gardner gave the band the additional edge that they had been seeking. With three EPs already under their belt – 2012's Carpet Worms, 2013's Kursk, and 2014's Closer to the Sun – as Shrine, the band decided to adopt the far-less-commonplace moniker Black Peaks.

The resulting Statues was released at the beginning of 2016, preceded by the singles "Saviour" and "Glass Built Castles."
