The group was formed in 1993 by producer and songwriter Roberto Burgos when he met former band-member Viet Le at a high school talent show sign-up in the summer 93. Since its inception, the band has released four albums with Darla Records: 1998's Halica, 2003's Velocity : Design : Comfort, 2009's You Will Never Know Why, and 2021's A Tiny House, In Secret Speeches, Polar Equals.
Label mates Junior Varsity KM — whom Burgos has done several remixes for — have toured with Sweet Trip on several occasions. Other notable outfits Burgos has done remixes for include Takako Minekawa, Club 8 and Gnac.
In 2013, Burgos posted a new song, "Things to Ponder While Falling", on his SoundCloud account. He referred to it as "Probably the last Sweet Trip song ever"; this was later updated to "*not* the last Sweet Trip song ever".
In 2019, Burgos posted an update to his private Twitter account, stating: "We've realized that we can't put out a VDC vinyl reissue without following up with new music, and that's an exciting realization."
In 2020, Sweet Trip released their first new song since 2013, "In Sound, We Found Each Other", onto the Little Darla Has a Treat for You, Vol. 30 compilation.
On November 8, 2020, Sweet Trip announced the title of their new album, A Tiny House, In Secret Speeches, Polar Equals, which released digitally on May 28, 2021. Alongside this, a single was announced titled "Walkers Beware! We Drive Into the Sun", which was released on January 15, 2021. On January 22, 2021, they released a remastered version of You Will Never Know Why, with new artwork and three new songs.
