Leschper began her career writing solo music under the moniker "Mothers" in the early 2010s. However, the project soon turned into a full band, and they released two albums as a group before breaking up.[3] Leschper moved from Athens to Philadelphia in 2018.[4] Leschper said that anxiety and depression ensued after the last Mothers album and tour.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Leschper decided to return to her early days as a solo musician and begin working on new material.[3] In late 2021, Leschper emerged with the announcement of her first solo album, The Opening, or Closing of a Door.[5] When discussing why Leschper decided to become a solo artist, she said:
Earlier work didn’t involve recording as part of the writing process, recordings were simply made as a document of something that had been written and rehearsed. I have since discovered a deep affection for home recording and sound exploration, finding that I thrive in those rabbit holes of texture, timbre, rhythm, which can add so much complexity to the emotionality of a composition.[6]
The album was released on March 4, 2022 through Anti-, and received positive reviews.[7]
