LA-based Modern Time Machines' haunting, bittersweet melodies recall elements of dream pop, new wave, and space rock, and their sound has been described as "a noisy, romantic hurricane for those who like their rock with intricate layers" (Buzzbands.LA). Boy/girl vocal harmonies feature heavily in the band's feedback-laced love songs, which have drawn comparisons to shoegazers and noiseniks including M83, Medicine and Sonic Youth.
