Style
The band refers to its musical style as "DanceThink Music". Their music "combines elements from rock, dance, electronic, soul, punk, pop, and jazz music to engage the body and the mind". According to an album review, "This is fine, well-crafted music from a group with a mind of its own". According to band guitarist Lester, "It’s about writing music that’s as satisfying for your body as it is for your mind".
In 2008 Grammy-nominated engineer Mark Saunders, who has developed albums with Shiny Toy Guns and The Cure, produced the band’s debut album named DanceThink in the REEQ Studios in New York City.

Famous quotes containing the word style:
“Everything ponderous, viscous, and solemnly clumsy, all long- winded and boring types of style are developed in profuse variety among Germans—forgive me the fact that even Goethe’s prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, being a reflection of the “good old time” to which it belongs, and a reflection of German taste at a time when there still was a “German taste”Ma rococo taste in moribus et artibus.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“I shall christen this style the Mandarin, since it is beloved by literary pundits, by those who would make the written word as unlike as possible to the spoken one. It is the style of all those writers whose tendency is to make their language convey more than they mean or more than they feel, it is the style of most artists and all humbugs.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
“Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
