Airiel began as a solo project by Jeremy Wrenn in Bloomington, 1997. For a few years, Airiel was a duo Wrenn on guitar, Sean Delaney on bass and a drum machine. Wrenn then relocated to Chicago and brought in Cory Osborne (bass) and John Rungger (drums}, followed by Chris De Brizzio (guitar).
Through Clairecords (Sacramento), Airiel released a series of four-song EPs titled Winks & Kisses.
