Their music has been described as "somewhere on the fringe" and "music from a parallel universe"... It sometimes drives and sometimes flutters, but it rarely pulls over to the curb and stops.

Others paint pictures with sound, blending the gentle timbres of window glass with modulating metal springs and the sounds of bowed strings from the metal body of a gas tank.
