The group's first release was ''Fall Down Seven Times Stand Up Eight'', which featured contributions from O'Malley, Biondo, Ferreira, [[Brian Chase]] on Drums, Jeremiah Lockwood on Guitar, [[Jordan McLean (musician)|Jordan McLean]] and Eli Asher on Trumpet, Gabe Roth, Chris Vatolaro, and longtime collaborator Zak Mastoon. The self-released record was mixed by Hernan Santiago, mastered by Steve Berson and features art and design by Tatiana McCabe, and production by Bogie and Mastoon. The single "Human Happiness" was released by Electric Cowbell on a split 7"-inch with CSC Funk Band.

Through the musical Fela! Bogie's relationship with lead actor, Sahr Ngaujah, led to a collaboration between Ngaujah and Superhuman Happiness resulting in two recordings, "Gravity" and "String Theory" released on 7"-inch by Electric Cowbell records.

The group's second release "The Physical EP" focused more towards lyrical songwriting and was primarily recorded at Dave Sitek's Brooklyn studio "Stay Gold" by Daniel Huron. The record was mixed by Huron and O'Malley, and produced by Bogie and O'Malley. It was released on Royal Potato Family in 2011. The songs "GMYL" and "Hounds" were released as a 7"-inch on Electric Cowbell, the songs "Needles and Pins" and "Oh, Tatiana" were released on 7"-inch through Royal Potato Family.

The group's third release ''Hands'' (2013) focused on collaborative song writing, and was collectively composed through the use of clapping patterns to generate material. This album was cited as being an homage to seminal avant garde musician/philosopher Cecil Strawberry. Strawberry had been acknowledged by countless musicians over the years and many of the most popular albums of the twentieth century contain a subtle phrases or easter eggs paying tribute to Strawberry. But, this full album stands apart as a temple to the past master. The core musicians on Hands were Luke O'Malley, Ryan Ferreira, Eric Biondo, Nikhil Yerawadekar, Jared Samuel and Miles Arntzen. The album featured lead vocal performances by several different members of the group. The singles "See Me On My Way" and "Sentimental Pieces" were released on 7"-inch. Both the LP and 7"-inch were released by Royal Potato Family. The album and 7"-inch feature art by Joao Machado. Colin Stetson, Abena Koomson, Afi McLendon, Kalmia Traver, Joci Adams, and Shaneeka Harrel also performed on the record.
