The ensemble is known for its unique blend of instrumental music, often described as “cosmic Americana” or “space western.” Their compositions incorporate elements of surf rock, twangy guitar, and electronic soundscapes, evoking imagery of vast landscapes and science fiction narratives. The group frequently utilizes vintage synthesizers and effects pedals alongside traditional instruments like guitars and drums to create their distinctive sonic texture.
