In an interview with laut.de, a German online magazine covering music and entertainment, SSIO describes the sound as “‘Harte Drums,’ ‘Kopfnicker-Style.'” To translate:

“‘Hard drums,’ he describes. ‘Head-nodder style.‘. . . “I attach a lot of importance to a vintage sound. I don’t want my sound to sound so digitally modern, but rather to have that roughness.” [Translation]
