Their debut album, “Canvas of Sound”, was released in 2018 and received critical acclaim.

Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G]In the attic of my memories, [D]where the sun seldom shines,
[G]There are dusty frames and forgotten names, [D]lost in the hands of time.
(Chorus)
[C]Pictures fading, [D] colors cascading,
[G]In these dusty frames of mine.
[C]Echoes of laughter, [D]of a time hereafter,
[G]In the silence, they chimed.
(Verse 2)
[G]Shadows dancing in the flickering light, [D]whispers in the dark,
[G]The attic holds a thousand tales, [D]each one leaving its mark.
(Chorus)
[C]Pictures fading, [D]colors cascading,
[G]In these dusty frames of mine.
[C]Echoes of longing, [D]of a love belonging,
[G]To a past that’s hard to find.
