...stereo lab. The band's sound is characteristically everywhere: their records run th aural gamut from fuzzy lounge-lizard pop to gritty reverb rock (and most often are a synth-washed mix of both). Through it all, though, they manage to give you the cold shoulder. Morgane Lhote's Moog must have a special dial for "disaffected": a breath of chilling ennui blows through all their music, a vague sense of world-weary aloofness that has its heart somewhere in songwriter Sadier's low-mixed lyrics...
...previous albums Naveed and Clumsy, Maida spent much of the set without a guitar in his hands. Instead, he stumbled around the stage with a placid stare of indifference temporarily disturbed from time to time by unconvincing posture. New keyboardist Jamie Edwards followed Maida's scales precisely on the Moog in a valiant, yet ultimately futile, attempt to hide all of the notes that his frequently sour, straining voice flagrantly missed...
...Sharp's nonchalant vocals and silly lyrics are melodiously complemented by the omnipresent, wispy voice of Petra Hayden, creating an eerie, guitar-driven, foot-tapping rock surrealism. Despite losing Pat Wilson, the bald, dorky drummer from Weezer, Sharp has brilliantly succeeded by relying on sampling, electronic beats and the Moog to provide a unique rhythm section.

...upfront and in-your-face on almost every track. Drummer Slug does little more than keep time for Walker, and Fincher's bass remains subdued throughout most of the album. Although Marvelous3 is power pop, they layer their music at points with vocal distortion, background sampling, an excellent Moog solo and creative piano arrangement. In addition, effective overlapping of Walker's omnipresent vocals disguises the thin ideas behind his most lyrics...
