2013–2015: Formation and Think Kaleida formed in 2013, when Wood and Goulder were introduced by a mutual friend through email. At the time, Wood had been at work in the forests of
Borneo while recording demos in her bedroom each night, while Goulder had been composing for film productions in London. From 2013 to late 2014, the duo released demos of songs "Think" and "Tropea", releasing a video for the latter in 2013. On 19 December 2014 Lex Records announced they had signed Kaleida and would be releasing their debut extended play,
Think, on 6 April 2015. In 2014, Kaleida garnered worldwide attention when their song, "Think", was featured in the 2014 action film
John Wick and
its soundtrack. The song's minimalist structure specifically contrasted the violent scenes in which it was used.
2015: Touring and Detune In a 2015 interview with Ground Sounds, Kaleida stated that following their European tour with
Róisín Murphy, the band would begin work on their debut album. On 3 November 2015 Kaleida released a new single, "Detune". On 24 February 2016 the band released a new single, "It's Not Right", and a second EP,
Detune, was released on 26 February.
2017: Tear The Roots Kaleida released their debut album,
Tear The Roots, on 15 September 2017.
2020: Odyssey Kaleida released their second album,
Odyssey, on 28 August 2020.
2024: In Arms Kaleida released their third album,
In Arms, on
Embassy Records, on 22 March 2024. The pair wrote and produced the album largely long-distance, as Wood had re-located from London to the US in 2019.
2025: New release Wood announced she is working on a solo release under her project Vesper Wood. ==Members==
