The Süddeutsche Zeitung wrote about the album Kill Your Babies - Filmscore For An Unknown Picture, released in 2012: "An album full of melancholy song sketches. As if he had cut out the pieces from a scratched copy of a nouvelle vague film." In 2015, the album I Love You was released, a mix of jazz, songwriter and film music.
