Her second album Oh No was released in 2016 and was also nominated for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize. 2020 saw her return with another album, All the Time, which The Guardian described as filled with tracks that get the delicate balance right between experimentation and a love of an uncomplicated pop tune; between nostalgia for the past and a dedication to sounding like the future.
