The Senate is influenced by Popscene and Ray Sister from Artista, Noble City, and Dave and the Recorders and Rain King from Sofasi. The Senate plays a mixture between psych folk, drone music, ambient indie and post-rock. The band was heavily influenced by early electronic artists such as Kraftwerk and Deutsch Amerikanischen Freundschaft, and focuses on a rigid beat, hypnotic vocals and minimal changes. The psychedelic, hypnotic quality of the music made The Senate a cult band in the Lovian music scene. The songs defy any conventional song structure. Many songs are characterized by minimal changes, drones and tweaked guitars.
