Their second album, Adopted, was noted for being recorded over eight weeks and mixed live in one day. The band takes influence from 50s and 60s Japanese noise, avant-garde composers such as Henry Cowell, and the music of New York's downtown composers.

A review in Australian Geographic describes them as "A team of musical pioneers who are not afraid to reveal their intricate deconstructions"
