They began as buskers in Wellington in 2013; Shaan Singh on saxophone and Matt Beachen on drums (the origin of Drax being a portmanteau of 'drums' and 'sax'). Double bassist Sam Thomson joined shortly after, and guitarist Ben O'Leary joined the band a year after, when the band made the switch to creating original material. All members were jazz students at the New Zealand School of Music, except for O'Leary who studied music at Whitireia New Zealand.
In August 2014, the band released their first extended play to Bandcamp. In 2016, the group released their second extended play, T/W/OO, through Universal.
In November 2017, the band released the song "Woke Up Late". It gained popularity over the next few months and was widely played on New Zealand radio stations.
In January 2019, a new version of "Woke Up Late" was released, featuring American singer Hailee Steinfeld. In June 2019, they released the single "All This Time".
Their debut, self-titled studio album was released on 27 September 2019.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish that I could see you thinking
"Let me in", is what you're saying, what you're meaning
I'm tryna make some sense
I'm over the suspense
But a part of me knows how this ends
Got me feeling alive
And we could go all, all night
'Cause you know what we're like
And after all this time
Got me feeling alive
And we could go all, all night
'Cause you know what we're like
Yeah that's what we like
'Cause we're all in our head
You said I could see it, show me that you mean it
Let me in
Though I don't wanna lecture or put you under pressure
I'm just tryna make some sense
I'm over the suspense
But a part of me knows how this ends, I know
'Cause after all this time
Got me feeling alive
And we could go all, all night
'Cause you know what we're like
And after all this time
Got me feeling alive
And we could go all, all night
'Cause you know what we're like
Yeah that's what we like
That's what we like
'Cause after all this time
Got me feeling alive
And we could go all, all night
'Cause you know, 'cause you know
And after all this time
Got me feeling alive
And we could go all night
'Cause you know ('cause you know)
'Cause after this time
Got me feeling alive
And we could go all, all night
'Cause you know what we're like
And after all this time
Got me feeling alive
And we could go all, all night
'Cause you know what we're like
Yeah that's what we like
That's what we like
That's what we like
'Cause you know what we're like
In Drax Project's song "All This Time," the lyrics express the desire to connect with someone more deeply and understand what's going on inside their head. The singer wants to be let in, to see what the other person is thinking and feeling. They admit that they're trying to make sense of the situation and get past the uncertainty, but there's a part of them that knows how it will end. Despite this, they feel alive and want to keep going all night because they know that's what they both like.
The chorus repeats the idea of feeling alive after all this time, indicating that there's a history between the two people. It implies that they've been through ups and downs, but they still have a strong connection. The refrain "That's what we like" emphasizes the idea that they are compatible and enjoy being together, even if they don't always understand each other completely.
Overall, "All This Time" is a song about the complexities of relationships and the desire to connect with someone on a deeper level. It's about trusting that connection and enjoying it despite the difficulties that come with it.
