The band's sound is influenced by a wide range of genres, including Nordic folk music, contemporary rock, and electronic pop. They cite artists like Sigur Rós, Björk, and Radiohead as major inspirations. The ethereal qualities of Scandinavian music often permeate their work, as well as the poetry and storytelling traditions of their homeland, which inform their lyrics and overall aesthetic.
