The band will release a breakout full length LP on Brant Bjork’s newly relaunched DUNA RECORDS distributed by COBRASIDE DISTRIBUTION (USA).

The new release titled “Once upon a time in the desert” is the result of a long collaborative friendship between Bjork, Lalli and Güt. The power trio recording the tracks at Donner & Blitzen studios in Southern California with another 20 plus year collaborator Mathias Shneeberger.
