Marylise Frecheville bashes the living shit out of drums and vocalizes across a wild range of styles from death screams to French chanson to German punk to Arabic chanting.

Curiosities Of Popular Customs是他们的音乐最清楚的一张录音专辑—--就像一套采样，岂有此理地把嬉戏的无政府主义朋克和中国现代民歌混和在一起，古怪的衣领笔挺的歌舞表演和春上村树的超现实主义诗歌则籍着伊斯兰教的托钵僧的精神和Lignting Bolt(一支癫狂的美国实验朋克乐队)的巨浪翻滚似的狂乱传达出来。
