While playing local gigs, the band recorded its debut album, A Green Dream, which was released by POPQuiz in 2001 on vinyl only; the following year, 13 Patient Flowers arrived on Fleece Records. Ashley began working on solo material while still in the Mirrors, and while the band was in Oakland, CA, on tour, he found a kindred spirit and collaborator in Oscar Michel, bassist for San Francisco's Rock Roll Adventure Kids.

The label gave A Green Dream, Rovi
