Spiking extremely retro electropop tendencies (recalling Kraftwerk, early Depeche Mode, and Gary Numan) with a modern approach to programming, Fischerspooner produces a quirky, robotic, and strangely subdued kind of dance music. Their albums can be seen as soundtracks to their stageshows, as opposed to recordings which are performed live.
Many critical theorists have latched on to the band for their subversive attitude and sassy stylings - Judith Butler, Etienne Balibar, and Antonio Negri, to name a few.
On October 30, 2019, the duo announced their breakup via Instagram.

Fischerspooner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, dear daddy"
When you pray with every breath
You know, that is free as the love you have
Where does it end?
There's no peace, you close your eyes
I'm all out of truth, I'm out of alibis
Where does it end?
It's too much for me to take
We're gonna love one another till morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kind of meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, daddy"
"Oh no", she said, "Dear daddy, dear daddy"
And his face his heaven sent
He makes me believe there must be something else
Where does it end?
It's too much for me to take
I can feel the need in you
There isn't a thing I won't let you do
Where does it end?
It's too much for me to take
We're gonna love one another till morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kind of meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand, understand
We're gonna love one another till morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kind of meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand
We're gonna love one another till morning comes
Sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
We're gonna love one another
We're gonna love one another
Give up resisting one by one
The lyrics to Fischerspooner's song "O" deal with themes of love, religion, and surrender. The repeated lines of "Oh no, she said, dear daddy, daddy" can be interpreted as a plea for a higher power or authority figure to intervene and guide the singer through their feelings of overwhelm. The following lines explore the complexities of love and its ability to transcend boundaries - both in terms of societal norms and personal limits. The idea of "praying with every breath" suggests a level of devotion and desperation, while the line "he makes me believe there must be something else" hints at the transformative power of being in love.
The chorus, which repeats the lines "we're gonna love one another till morning comes / seek the sweet salvation for what we've done / give up resisting one by one," can be read as both a call to action and an admission of surrender. The idea of seeking salvation suggests a need for forgiveness or redemption, while the act of giving up resistance implies a willingness to let go of control and allow oneself to be consumed by love.
Overall, the lyrics to "O" are reflective of the intense emotions that come with falling deeply in love, and the ways in which that love can challenge one's beliefs and sense of self.
