Their work has been featured in films and TV shows such as CSI: Miami, One Tree Hill, Sicko, Till Human Voices Wake Us, and Australian programs like Bondi Rescue and Recruits.

They have collaborated with artists including Steve Kilbey, Graham Lee, Ed Kuepper, and David Bridie. Wired Magazine described their sound as a blend of ambient and guitar elements, with influences from Ennio Morricone and Angelo Badalamenti, and compared to the styles of DJ Shadow, Tortoise, and Thievery Corporation.
