Their first album of arrangements of traditional songs Katice relased in 1995 was nominated twice for the Slovene award Zlati petelin. It was followed by the Se dela greh ... se sliši smeh [One Sins...Another Hears Laughter] (1998, Helidon) and Jungfraua [Maiden] (2001, Menart Records, Dom svobode). In 2009 they realised the album of Christmas music Oj, fijole, novo leto je! [Hey, Hey, It's a New Year!].
