The music on Schlagenheim is dfferent from normal rock music. The band used many musical instruments, such as accordions and drum machines, to make it sound different. The music has complex time signatures and changes speed many times.[2] Music critics have called it math rock, noise rock, and experimental rock.[3][4] Schlagenheim was in the top 50 on the UK Albums Chart, and got a nomination for the 2019 Mercury Prize.[5][6]
