While essentially a rock band, elements of both dance and pop music inflect their work. Songs such as “Atlantis to Interzone” and “Forgotten Works” feature repetitious, heavily rhythmic sections and infectious dance beats provided by live guitar and drum work, all reminiscent of techno and rave. Yet on songs like “Golden Skans?...
