In addition to the format of vocals and piano accompaniment, the duo were able to
inject the atmosphere of each song with the possibilities made available
through the use of keyboards, sequencers and signal processors, allowing
them to move easily back and forth from the stylistic worlds of jazz,
lounge, synth pop and electronic rock. Their set of songs, one of which
was a contribution by another of the evening's performers, Kitty
Brazelton,
were tightly composed, with a blend of wit and self-conscious
sentimentality that gave their performance a sense of lightness and
familiarity combined with a stylish take on each of the genres the duo
were evoking.
