On 29 January 2015, they released their first single in collaboration with the Danish singer Amanda Pedersen, titled "Frozen Silence". A week later, on 6 February, they released their first album, The Book of Nature. The songs were performed by other artists, such as the German-Canadian-English singer Alice Merton and the Eurovision 2013 winner Emmelie de Forest.
