We Were Troping Anyway:
- Alternate Reality Game: One was used to promote the EP The Distant and Mechanized Glow of European Dance Parties.
- Instrumentals: All but two of their songs have no lyrics to them (the exceptions being "Come to Me", sung by The Cure frontman Robert Smith, and "The Conspiracy of Seeds", a Limited Lyrics Song featuring Circle Takes the Square).
- Overly Long Name: A few of their songs and album titles go into this, like "Install a Beak in the Heart that Clucks Time in Arabic", "I Swallowed Hard, Like I Understood", and "The Distant & Mechanized Glow of European Dance Parties".
- Spoken Word in Music: Amongst others on "Another Code Against the Gone", "2412", "Asphalt & Trouble" (featuring a monologue from Full Throttle) and "Massive Star at the End of It's Burning Cycle" (featuring dialogue from Wizards).
- Word Salad Title: Some of their song titles (and most of their album titles) don't make any real sense, as is the case with songs like "Install a Beak in the Heart that Clucks Time in Arabic", "Music Is Music as Devices Are Kisses Is Everything", and "The Distant and Mechanized Glow of European Dance Parties", as well as albums like The Fall of Math, The Destruction of Small Ideas, and We Were Exploding Anyway.
