The New York Times wrote of songs that seesawed between the elfin delicacy of Joanna Newsom and some brassy raucousness.

Moon Saloon, released on Bella Union in August 2016, constitutes a natural progression from the first albums whimsical explorations and energetic diversity. Produced by the group and mixed by electronica producer David Wrench of FKA Twigs and Jamie xx fame, the album showcases beat-heavy melodies and textural, groove-riding rhythms. It developed from the bands distillations of musical influences, combining traditional elements with percussive structures and dense, beguiling harmonies.
