In 2023 the duo released the critically acclaimed album Two Hours After Midnight, a collection of traditional Scottish songs rearranged by Elchin with influences of jazz, classical and Azerbaijani folk. Following on from the success of the album, they were commissioned to write new songs on the subject of 'Belonging' through the PRS Foundation, with lyrics by Louise and music by Elchin. In January 2024 they released the single Nowhere to Hide after multiple requests from fans, and it has been hugely popular internationally.
