Style[]
Lebanon Hanover's music have been compared to 80s gothic rock/post-punk acts such as Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure and Bauhaus. The band has a minimal, dark sound.[4] Their songs have a signature light synth sounds, deep bass and melancholic lyrics.[5]
William Maybelline is responsible for the rhythm, synthesizer and bass, which add to the music like an ordered frame, while contributing with more chaotic fragments. As a common conceptual idea, it simply describes simple production, which is based on the desire to generate an organic sound as possible.[6]
