Previous releases can be found on the band's own YouTube channel, for example , including the singles Moshpit , Dead End Paradise and Lost Pieces of Youth as well as live recordings and studio sessions.
The Internet portal Tonspion announced with regard to the debut album: Chaos Mon Amour "send the listener from one tonal extreme to the next" and "sound sometimes pathetic and epochal like Muse , sometimes experimental and melancholy like Radiohead and sometimes dark like Interpol ."
The Cologne Mensch-Magazin praised it: "You move [...] extremely dynamically in a direction that oscillates between intensely rousing pieces and dark compositions, without missing a catchy, melodic pop component."
For the release of the second album, Breathe Out the Past , the band started a project with various video artists, in which each of the eight songs is gradually illustrated and published separately on its own YouTube channel. The first results of this collaboration are A Little Death to Dance , Psychosomnia and Hunting .
