Each Other, released on January 22, 2016, was created despite several obstacles including his bassist's health issues and his drummer leaving to finish school. In an interview with Transverso Media, Knight explained the struggles, saying, "I think it just mostly affected my sort of - how to put it eloquently - just my thoughts on how to keep going, you know, whatever the future was going to look like. And that seems really dramatic for me to say that now, but at the time it really felt like, 'Oh, maybe I just kind of hang up the towel here.' We had already spent the time and already spent the money on recording it so we would have needed a bunch more money to produce the songs and release the record and all, so maybe we cut out losses?"
On August 28, 2020, Aidan Knight released his self-titled fourth studio album on the indie label Full Time Hobby.
