We Lunatics Run the Asylum: An ode to Lunacy (2023)
The creation of the album “We Lunatics Run the Asylum” is a means of expressing in music the omnipresent dichotomy in our current state : this state of tugging between a slow madness which settles in our daily life of post-apocalyptic reality and the need to find reason in the escape and refuge of our art.

Lucky Are The Ones With Voices: It’s a start, and it’s beautiful (2014)
This debut album is the result of a deep introspection: Jad Salameh’s blurry childhood memories from the orient meeting discoveries and encounters made on other continents. It could only come to life through the magical combination of the quartet’s diverse voices and American singer Jennifer Grout’s mystical tone. With its 7 original compositions and 2 covers of traditional Lebanese songs, it explores the possible intersections between traditional oriental music and modern Jazz, in a blissful moment.
