Lyrically, their songs often delve into personal narratives and universal themes of love, loss, and the human condition. The duo employs an impressionistic storytelling approach that balances earnestness with subtle irony; their voices intertwine to evoke vivid imagery without always adhering to linear storytelling. This duality allows listeners to resonate with the emotions behind the words while interpreting them through their own experiences.
Their sound anchors itself in lush harmonies and rhythmic intricacies, where each note feels like it could pull listeners into layered depths or lift them into open air.
