History
Following the break up of TBL, Marquez was keen to start a new project immediately. She contacted two women she had worked with previously from Iridus Tabo Spectro, though only Wojewoda was willing to move to Marcwith. After an initial struggle to generate interest in working with Marquez they agreed to work with Solome Mooshian, well-known drummer and audio mixer in the industry. Because each member of the group was well versed in several instruments they had trouble discovering how well they could work together. Under the direction of Marquez, the three women were able to develop an avant-garde progressive sound based on Marquez's childhood stories.
According to Marquez, "[she] just wanted to move on as quickly as possible after TBL. Everyone in the industry was unhappy with how the band broke up...that's why [she] got into The Nudis. It was an escape."
The group's first album I Forgot was the first concept album for Mooshian despite featuring her work heavily. It focused on original work Marquez created in her early adolescence about a futuristic undersea world. The songs are told from the perspective of an unknown person who has recently been released from prison, where they were held captive for so long they have forgotten almost everything about their past. It was met with early criticism, much of it to do with the date of the release being so close to the disbanding of TBL. In a radio interview with Jackdaw, the producer praised the work, remarking that "It's a great album. It just is. It sucks that Anya's work isn't getting the praise it deserves."
Their second album Navanax Inermis earned more commercial success as they began preforming regular shows at Crystal Castle in Causeway. During the production of the album the group became one of the first to sign to the Nikdy Nepodat record label and officially moved operations to Causeway near the album's completion. Although still a concept album, there is no over-arching story in Navanax Inermis. Rather, each song is a vignette describing different characters and situations in the underwater world first visited in I Forgot.
