The group released the albums ''I Was Born at Night''<ref>[https://www.tinymixtapes.com/music-review/meneguar-i-was-born-night Review], Tiny Mix Tapes</ref> and ''Strangers in Our House'' on the Troubleman Unlimited label. Hybrid Magazine positively reviewed ''Strangers in Our House'', saying that, "''Like a fucked up conglomeration of Modest Mouse and Q and Not U with a little The Flaming Lips thrown in for artistic sense, the band walks an interesting line that ebbs and flows across the album, moving with an energy that is addictively daunting and dauntingly addictive at the same time.''"<ref>{{Cite web | title=HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM {{!}} REVIEWS {{!}} Meneguar - I Was Born At Night album review | url=http://www.hybridmagazine.com/reviews/1005/meneguar.shtml | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060325203522/http://www.hybridmagazine.com/reviews/1005/meneguar.shtml | access-date=2025-07-04 | archive-date=2006-03-25}}</ref>
