Known as one-third of lo-fi noise-rock trio Palberta, Lily Konigsberg's solo releases have ranged from her early noise experiments of the mid-2010s to later, more-streamlined bittersweet indie pop. The latter was the focus of her 2020 EP It's Just Like All the Clouds, which doubled as her solo debut for Wharf Cat Records. She issued the song-focused compilation The Best of Lily Konigsberg Right Now before making her official full-length debut with Lily We Need to Talk Now in 2021.
