Regarding their approach as producers, he also added: "our approach goes back to the whole Eno/Bowie "Low" thing – the treatments are as important as the synths. We like to confuse synths and guitars quite a lot–there are some things people hear they assume is a guitar that's a synth and vice versa. On the last album, there were guitars all over 'Cease2xist' and a few of the other songs, but they were treated in a way that people didn't recognize them". Musically, "Witching Hour" has been described as synth-pop, electronic rock, post-punk, and shoegaze.
