Detachments are Sebastien Marshal + troops:-
Peter Dawson(drums+electronic percussion), Jake Maun(guitar+keys), Oliver Scott(bass+keys).

Their eclectic, futuristic, dark pop music encompasses traces of... the cold sound of early '80s Factory Records, a hint of Dubstep Electronica, nods towards DFA’s consistently varied output, plus some early House and Techno, as well as pioneering 1980s electronic pop - from Kraftwerk to The Cure. Also, not to be forgotten is the spectre of My Bloody Valentine lurking within the layers.

Nihilistic tendencies, disenchantment with contemporary society, inescapable pangs for lost love and outsider status all serve as fertile grounds for inspiration.

"You're obliged to pretend respect for people and institutions you think absurd. You live attached in a cowardly fashion to moral and social conventions you despise, condemn, and know lack all foundation. It is that permanent contradiction between your ideas and desires and all the dead formalities and vain pretenses of your civilization which makes you sad, troubled and unbalanced. In that intolerable conflict you lose all joy of life and all feeling of personality, because at every moment they suppress and restrain and check the free play of your powers. That's the poisoned and mortal wound of the civilized world."
