The Dark Chords create an eclectic mix of instrumental music. The sounds blend influences ranging from The Beatles to the '90s post-rock of Tortoise to the '70s jazz fusion of Miles Davis with the electro and downtempo sounds of Air and Gorillaz and the eclectic hip-hop meets classic soul and rock sounds of DJ Dangermouse. Throw in a dash of soundtrack and classical influences and what you get is a sound where about the only thing you can expect is that the next song will probably not sound anything like the last one.
