Chris writes and delivers all the rhymes, and comes up with the initial musical ideas for the songs, often supplying a bass line or guitar part. Dan takes the bare skeleton that Chris provides, and fleshes it out, programming drum beats, samples, organ, piano & synth parts, etc.
The result is music that's hip-hop and rap, but isn't afraid to bring in any other element that pops into Dan & Chris's minds - punk, jazz, psychedelic. The recording process is almost a stream of consciousness approach for some elements, with first takes often being the tracks that define the direction of the music.
------------------------------
The group has recently morphed into a real, touring band, and contributions from the new band members will show up on the new full-length CD, along with the usual studio collaborations between Dan & Chris.
