They have since released four albums: ''How Do You Feel Now?'' in April 2015, ''Content'' in July 2017, ''Possession'' in March 2020, and ''Cleanse'' in February 2022. |

27 | * AnimatedMusicVideo: The MV for "Blank Slate" is a claymation-style animation of a space satellite going on a journey. |
28 | * FantasticDrug: The music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXmy5gyELrc "Half Your Age"]] pretends to be a commercial for a fake prescription medication called Brushitall (with the name taken from a line repeated in the song's chorus: "Brush it all, brush it all, brush it all, brush it away..."). However, as the video plays out, the man in the commercial ends up [[DescentIntoAddiction growing addicted to it]]... [[SurrealMusicVideo and then things just get weird]]. |
29 | * {{Eagleland}}: A "Murica the Boorish" example in "Buy American", a satirical hot take on the nation's wasteful consumer culture. |
30 | * LyricalDissonance: "It's a Trip" is about the dark uncertainty of dealing with fame and achieving your dreams, while the instrumental is catchy and fun. |
31 | * ProductionForeshadowing: Several of the [[ShowWithinAShow fake movies]] in the music video for "Obsession", initially released as a single ahead of their upcoming album "Possession", foreshadow other songs that would appear on the album. Aside from the obvious ''[[TitleDrop Obsession]]'', there's also ''The Divine Possession'', ''Coming Apart'', ''Half Your Age'', ''Blank Slate'', ''Funny Thing About Opinions'', ''Mr. Eastman: The Perfect Case'', and ''F.E.A.R.'' |
32 | * ShowWithinAShow: The music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2G9qar-yKw "Obsession"]] is a rapid-fire montage of opening titles from fake [[{{Retraux}} late-20th-century-esque]] films, hitting just about every possible cinematic trope of the era in the process. |
33 | * SurrealMusicVideo: Their music videos are almost invariably a certain degree of surreal, ranging from an [=MP3=] player becoming a member of the band ("Destruction"), hunters searching for nudists to shoot clothes back on them ("Tongues") to a man's slow descent into drug addiction disguised as a medicine ad ("Half Your Age") and the band glitching through reality while skateboarding ("Somebody New"). |
34 | * SurprisinglyGentleSong: |
35 | ** "Let’s Talk About Feelings" the closing track on Content is a gentle and relaxing jazz song about the beginning of a relationship in comparison to their loud and energetic rock. |
36 | ** Relatively speaking, "Like A Kennedy" also counts as this. |
