The band draws inspiration from the post-punk and darkwave movements of the 80s, but also incorporates contemporary elements of electronic music in their sound. Since their formation, they have released several critically-acclaimed albums such as "Veins" (2016), "Fragments" (2018) and "Thin Skies (2020).
