Seventeen Stars the debut album from the duo has gathered much praise & love since release.

Famously, David Gilmour formerly of Pink Floyd covered "Between Two Points" from Seventeen Stars on his acclaimed solo release "Luck & Strange" in 2024. Of that song it was written:

""Musically it’s lush, gentle and evocative, the main refrain running through it not unlike a child’s wind-up toy forever on the brink of stopping altogether."

(Northern Soul Blog 2025)
