Episode 1, our debut album releases today. A big thanks to our friends for joining us for the impromptu release event. It was a lovely evening. We have been working hard on this project for a long time and we hope our friends will find it worthwhile. In true indie fashion most of the project was executed in-house. Even the CDs are hand-packed using a DIY design! It features some of our first and most loved compositions. The ones which found for us a a place in our listeners’ hearts with their demo recordings.

We'll update on where the CD will be available. And starting today the Album is available online at www.oklisten.com/album/episode_1. In a couple of weeks it will be available on iTunes, Google Play, etc.

Cosmic Motion Picture Frame

Inside a cosmic motion picture frame I constantly break just to reshape like a thought going through a blank page like wearing a name without a face like in the emptiness pulsating space never the less trapped inside an invisible cage Inside a cosmic motion picture frame the morning sunlight falls on your face reflections bouncing off the mirror shadows hanging lightly over your head nevertheless trapped inside an invisible cage
