| 14 | !!Rolo Tomassi provides examples of these tropes |
| 15 | * BandOfRelatives: Type 1. Eva and James are brother and sister. |
| 16 | * EpicInstrumentalOpener: The synths-only opening to their second record, Katzenklavier. |
| 17 | * EpicRocking: Fantasia, the 14 minute long closer to Hysterics. |
| 18 | ** They like long-ish album closers. Cosmology has [[TitleDrop Cosmology]] and Astraea has Illuminare, both of which are nearing on 8 minutes long. |
| 19 | * GenreMashup: Their sound is mostly influenced by hardcore and metal, but there are also elements of dream-pop, jazz and prog. |
| 20 | * LighterAndSofter: The B-side to Old Mystics has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQapUAVWmsM Mesmerizer]], which has Eva only using her clean vocals. |
| 21 | * NonAppearingTitle: Bucket loads. It's hard to think when they do mention the song's title in the actual song, except in Party Wounds and Scabs. |
| 22 | * ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: Complete inversion; you'd assume from looking at them that they were a folk or indie rock band, yet their sound draws on mathcore, grind, harsh noise and hardcore. UK metal magazine called their early work more brutal than ''Music/DyingFetus''. |
| 23 | * ShoutOut: Macarbe Charde is off of a line from ''Series/PeepShow'' . |
| 24 | * SopranoAndGravel: Eva can both scream and sing sweetly. |
| 25 | * UnpluggedVersion: James's acoustic versions of Oh, Hello Ghost and Nine. |
| 26 | * VocalTagTeam: Fofteen, Party Wounds, Old Mystic, Macabre Charade... |
