Their music has been praised for its "minimalist electronic structure" and "alternative sounding machine-driven electronic[s]". Recent live shows supporting fellow Leaf Label artists Snapped Ankles were described as "[pushing] the parameters of post-punk ... with a barrage of groove-ridden rhythms". [3] [4] [5]

Reviews for the album The Sick Man Of Europe include praise for its "propulsive motorik drum machines, languid basslines and pulsing sequencers", "terse, potent anti-rock", "ephemeral electricity" and "ubiquitous dread". [6] Rough Trade noted the influence of Bauhaus, Joy Division, Neu!, Suicide and Swans and When The Horn Blows called the album "a state of the nation commentary in every sense of the word". [7] [8]
