They released their first album, Плагиат (English: "Combinations") in 2008. It was followed by Альбом для рисования (English: "Album for Drawing"), released the following year.

Скажи чем, в небе журавли лучше синицы?
Порвав небесную гладь,
Летят, свое получать:
Кто – вить гнездо, кто - перезимовать
Один - наверх, напролом,
Другой подбитым орлом
Вернется вниз со сломанным крылом.
Припев

The lyrics of Муха's song Журавли speak of the change of seasons and the migration of birds, specifically the cranes, flying towards Moscow. The singer describes the modern hustle and bustle of the city through the "blinking neon signs" and "shining windowpanes." He contrasts this with the peaceful beauty of the birds flying above the clouds with the clear blue sky as their backdrop.
The chorus of the song talks about people from different walks of life traveling to Moscow in pursuit of their dreams, mingling together in the pages of a yellowed book. The lyrics also evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia, as the singer questions whether the beauty of cranes in the sky is better than that of ordinary birds like blue tits. The song ends with a poignant description of the hardships of migration, as some birds make it safely to their destination while others face difficulties and return with broken wings.
Overall, the lyrics of Журавли are a powerful metaphor for the challenges and beauty of life, the search for something better, and the inevitability of change and movement.
