----
!! Tremendous Sea of Tropes:
* GenreBusting: Their music is an upbeat fusion of Indie Rock, Pop, Electronica, Synthpop, and Psychedelic Rock.
* GrandRomanticGesture: As part of the MasochismTango, "Carried Away"'s music video contains several. Among them are waiting outside the door in the rain (invoked, since he's holding a sprinkler over his head) and hiring a skywriter to apologize.
* LyricalDissonance: Their melodies tend to be much cheerier than their lyrics or videos. Michael Angelakos has admitted in interviews that this is quite intentional.
* LoudnessWar: ''Gossamer'' is MUCH louder and has worse clipping than ''Manners''. It is especially heard in "I'll Be Alright".
* MasochismTango: "Carried Away"'s music video is about a couple going through this, constantly fighting and making up.
* NinjaProp: In the video for "Carried Away," the couple grabs the subtitles and uses them to... smash other subtitles.
* NonAppearingTitle: "The Reeling", "To Kingdom Come", "Cry Like a Ghost", others.
* TheOner: "Take A Walk"'s music video is designed to invoke this. It follows the POV of a bouncing ball through a city. Obviously it isn't actually one shot, but several spliced together to make the same effect with no cuts.
* PostCoitalCollapse: In the music video for "Carried Away," a couple [[TheMasochismTango keeps fighting, then making up with one another]]. One scene has the girlfriend angrily charge at the boyfriend only to cut to them slumping onto the bed, smiling at each other.
* PrecisionFStrike: "Ten Feet Tall" drops a MotherFBomb, though it's hard to make out due to Michael;s voice being Autotuned into oblivion.
* RomanticRain: Invoked in the music video for "Carried Away". The video showcases two lovers who are constantly fighting, but the man keeps redeeming himself by invoking many romance movie cliches. At one point, he stands at her door in what seems to be a downpour... except that the water is coming from a hose and it's perfectly clear out.
* SingingVoiceDissonance: Michael. He hits some insanely high notes, but his speaking voice is actually [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn7oWBE2SxM pretty normal.]]
* TheSomethingSong: "Seaweed Song".
* TitleOnlyChorus: Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk...
* UnpluggedVersion: The extended edition of ''Manners'' provides "stripped down" versions of "Sleepyhead" and "Moth's Wings".
** ''Kindred'' also has a few unplugged/acoustic versions among its bonus tracks.
