Shrouded Strangers is a garage-pop band that stays true to the tropes and sounds of a band labeled garage-pop, while also incorporating deliriously psychedelic elements. Nominally, the band draws influences from the more experimental side of the Beatles, among other British invasion acts. When they get weird, there's always an undercurrent of pop that keeps the lunacy grounded. On "(Don't Look at the) Pink Lightning," even as the track is overcome with hazy reverb, a chant-along refrain keeps the song firmly planted within the boundaries of classic rock 'n' roll. Other times, Shrouded Strangers teases the format of garage rock - paying tribute to the clichés, while also striving to make a unique strain. Despite the formalism that informs much of Shrouded Strangers, there is still room for controlled chaos, which the band uses to great effect.
