Brief history
Reflections released their debut album The Fantasy Effect on April 28, 2012, which was home-produced and recorded by the band itself using Mixcraft 4; a Windows music recording and mixing program. Soon after releasing The Fantasy Effect, Reflections were signed to record labels eOne and Good Fight. Reflections' second album and record label debut, titled Exi(s)t, was released October 22, 2013.

Exi(s)t debuted at #179 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 1,972 copies within the first week of being released.
Work for their third album was announced that it would commence sometime in February, 2015. On August 18, 2015, they released a music video for the song "Actias Luna" from the then upcoming album. Later, the album title was revealed as The Color Clear and was released through eOne and Good Fight on September 18, 2015. It was their best numbers and charting to date with a first week of 3,025 copies sold and debuting at #6 on the Heatseekers Albums Chart, #15 on the Independent Albums and #96 on the Billboard 200 Chart
