Gellar's lyrics and stage presence were sometimes seen as provocative, which drew criticism. The band kept going anyway, using their music to explore complicated feelings and challenge expectations. They put out a small number of songs, including "Going Through The Motions," which connected with listeners who recognized its themes of emotional distance.
