Their music features minimalistic sounds and driving beats combined with various organic instrumentation - from autoharps and ukuleles to harpsichords and dulcimers. Seyrat's breathy, soft, French-accented vocals combine hauntingly with Driscoll's in both English and French.
Their single Earthquake was released out in 2012 via their own label Caveman Arts Society.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I run out of words, to say (ahh)
I wouldn′t leave you
'Cause you′re that type of girl to make me stay (ahh)
I see the guys tryin' to holla
Girl, I don't wanna bother you
′Cause you′re independent, and you got my attention
Can I be your baby father?
That I love what you are doin' ′cause
I see you in the club, you gettin' down, girl
I wanna get with you, yeah
I see you in the club, you showin′ thugs love
I wanna get with you
You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
Said you′re so beautiful, so damn beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You're so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
You′re so beautiful
Like the clouds you drift me away
Far away, yeah
And like the sun you, brighten my day
You brighten my day, yeah
I never wanna see you cry, cry, cry
And I never wanna tell a lie, lie, lie
Said I never wanna see you cry, cry, cry
And I never wanna tell a lie, lie, lie

Kardinal told you (you), whether the sky blue or yellow
This fellow ain't that mellow if it ain't about you (you)
Hourglass shape make the place go "oooh"
Waistline makes my soldier salute
I′m a brute (brute) high from ya high heel game
High heels push up ya ass last name
And you livin′ in the fast lane, eyes like an angel
Goddess, watch my girl and how she undress
Spotless, hotness bad to the bone
Make me wanna bone, put me in a triple-X zone (zone)
Lames don't know how to talk to you
So let me walk, with you, hold my hand
I′ma spend them grands but after you undress
Not like a hooker, but more like a princess
Queen, empress, president
Pull any way, you got my love 'cause you′re beautiful, okay?

To me (oh oh)
You′re a symbol of what a big
Beautiful woman should be (ooh wee) (oh oh)

You're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
Said you're so beautiful, so damn beautiful
You′re so beautiful
The lyrics to "Beautiful" by Akon revolve around the artist's admiration for a woman he sees in the club. He is taken aback by her beauty and independence, and expresses his desire to be with her. Akon compares her to the sun and clouds, imagining her as someone who can whisk him away from reality. He also expresses his desire to see her happy, saying that he never wants to lie to her or make her cry.
The lyrics can be seen as objectifying the woman, reducing her to just her physical appearance. However, Akon also acknowledges her independence and strength, suggesting that he is attracted to more than just her beauty. The way he sings the chorus, repeating "You're so beautiful" over and over, could be seen as both genuine admiration and a way to further drive home the idea that her beauty is her defining trait.
Interestingly, the verses also feature a prominent guest verse from rapper Kardinal Offishall, who raps about his own admiration for the woman. While his verse is more explicit in its sexual overtones, he also acknowledges her strength and beauty.
Overall, the lyrics to "Beautiful" can be interpreted in a variety of ways, but they seem to ultimately be about the power of physical attraction and the desire to be with someone who embodies beauty and independence.
