  • Awesome Music: All of their albums to an extent, but most people will point you towards Velocity: Design: Comfort and You Will Never Know Why.
  • Cult Classic: Velocity: Design: Comfort and You Will Never Know Why are shaping up to be this.
  • Harsher in Hindsight:
    • The downbeat lyrics of You Will Never Know Why are thought to be inspired by Roby and Valerie's personal breakup and their struggle to handle it.
    • Their reunion album A Tiny House, in Secret Speeches, Polar Equals, was well received upon its release, but experienced Hype Backlash when it was revealed that the title of the song "Eave Foolery, Mill Five" was discovered to be an anagram for "Valerie, Love of My Life". It was soon discovered that Roby hadn't quite gotten over the split and became increasingly predatory towards Valerie, who had since got married. This lead to an altercation between the two, and ultimately brought the band to a close.
  • Signature Song: "Dsco", although "Milk" isn't far behind.
  • Vindicated by History: While not mainstream, during the 90s and 2000s they were massively overlooked even by fans of underground music, and towards the end of the decade were planning to split. By the middle of The New '10s though, they had finally gain a huge cult following thanks to places like /mu/ and rateyourmusic. The new found attention gave them enough encouragement to continue.
