While many are quick to point out influences such as the Kinks, Lou Reed and Talking Heads, Ex Norwegian do a fine job at coming across as a bit of fresh air. Much of the lyrics on Standby possess a subtle, edgy cynicism, with irresistible grooves and melodies that are plentiful too, as is the use of the all-powerful, scarily omnivorous mellotron.
