It is with this in mind that the two brought their debut album out to the darkness, representing the human condition, and the array of triumphs and struggles resulting from ambitions, dreams, pride, and the overall animus of being alive.
Life is challenging, and with their music Chistabels Dreams explores the challenges of how precious time ultimately is, and how short our lives are. Disappointments and broken dreams are inevitable, but through music, it may be possible to overcome despair and find that extraordinary place within where the fire still burning.
On their debut album Our Kind of Place, the songs were written in the midst of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and serve as a sort of secret diary. With their haunting melodies, these ghosts from the past create a personal soundtrack of experiences, dating from the end of the first decade of the new millennium, until now.
