History Music / CaravanPalace

* ElectroSwing: One of the most recognized names in the genre. Somewhat uniquely, much of their signature "swing" sound comes from original and authentic instrumentals rather than relying on vintage {{Sampling}}.

* BleachedUnderpants: The original band was a jazz trio that was hired by a production company to make a soundtrack for silent porn films, but have mostly left that behind for a much more broad and family-friendly aesthetic... though as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdabIfmcqSQ the video to "Miracle"]] [[CoitusEnsues will gladly and explicitly demonstrate]], only ''mostly''.

* {{Mascot}}: Their unnamed robot has appeared on all their album covers ([[UpToEleven and with the case of]] ''<I°_°I>'' [[UpToEleven is both the album cover]] ''[[UpToEleven and]]'' [[UpToEleven the album itself]]) and has appeared prominently in the music videos for "Suzy" and "Rock It For Me".

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''<I°_°I>'' can be considered this, with the music taking influence from harder, more raw electronic styles, with slightly moodier melodies even in the comparatively brighter pieces. Also, the music videos range from [[MindScrew symbolically confusing]] [[NightmareFuel to outright horrifying.]]

* BleachedUnderpants: The original band was a jazz trio that was hired by a production company to make a soundtrack for silent porn films.

* GangBangers: The video for "Midnight" on two Compton street hoods and their rise to power before they're swiftly subdued by... a [[VigilanteMan vigilante]] cowboy?

* AnimalJingoism: In the "Lone Digger" video, we have a trio of cat-people sitting at a table across from a group of dog-people. Guess what happens.

* AnimatedMusicVideo: Ocassionally ventured into with different results. The video for "Jolie Coquine" features StopMotion animation, the video for "Lone Digger" features 2D animation, as did the video for "Wonderland" and the video of "Rock It For Me" features a mix of 2D and 3D animation.

%%* DieselPunk

* DisposableSexWorker: [[spoiler: Subverted. The stripper in ''Lone Digger'' appears to be the only one that survived the bar right.]]

* ElectroSwing: One of the most recognized names in the genre.

* {{Natural Weapon}}s: Near the beginning of ''Lone Digger'', one of the cats checks his claws. [[spoiler: Near the end, those claws are used, and things get messy.]]

* {{Scatting}}: Used quite frequently. They even have a song from their first album [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin called Star Scat ]]that's filtered through a vocoder.
* SelfTitledAlbum: ''Caravan Palace''

* IndecipherableLyrics: More often than not, the lyrics to some songs like "Rock It For Me" are drowned by the music or, in the case of ''Clash'', entirely gibberish, leading to this trope.

* DisasterDominos: "Lone Digger". The dog trips the waitress, spilling milk on the cats who respond by killing one of the dogs, in the meantime, a snake takes the opportunity to attack the waitress which attracts the attention of the bouncer. The death of the dog leads to the bouncer getting distracted when he is sprayed by the blood. The distraction allows the snake to lethally poison him while the dog takes vengeance on the cat by ripping his throat out. Another dog receives a nasty chest wound by one of the cats while the other dog gets the thin end of a comb shoved in his eye. The bouncer literally rips the snake in half length-wise and other members of the bar join the fight when they are enraged by being sprayed with blood. In less than a minute, 90% of the people in the bar are dead.

* FunnyAnimal / PettingZooPeople: Of the "Lone Digger" video. [[{{Gorn}} "Funny" in this context could be a bit of a stretch, though.]]

* {{Zeerust}}: Their mascot bot is based on old scifi robots, and is used on all three album covers (and is even shopped from [[https://www.otrcat.com/images/robots.jpg an existing image]] on their debut album) and the music videos for Rock It For Me and Suzy. The music video for Mighty also consists of several clips of robots both new and old

* AnimatedMusicVideo: Ocassionally ventured into with different results. The video for "Jolie Coquine" features StopMotion animation, the video for "Lone Digger" features 2D animation, as did the video for "Wonderland" the video of "Rock It For Me" features a mix of 2D and 3D animation.
