Music
Their music may be described when guitar-depending singer-songwriter rock or folk-rock. It ranges from either super delicate & intimate singer-songwriter songs to songs that come stronger, further active & loudly. Sarah's smokey, enigmatic voice is the elastic better known characteristic. In the sevener years between The Great Subconscious Club and Almost Happy the music changed from altogether & guitar-depending to the additional subtle & delicate healthy. Sarah and Gert write most of the music & lyrics. Virtually all of these are written singly. Sarah mainly tries to express ideas around her songs & has the h& around writing silly and tongue-around-cheeks songs. Gert has 1 large theme: losing a one busy people love. When virtually all of the songs come easy accessible & open, a few others come unknown & incomprehensible. This led Sarah to comment: "Listening to the lyrics in the first time, you may find it hard to understand their meaning. When you listen to them a second time you may sense a basic truth in these cryptic words. If you do so, please let me know".
