Unlike the band's debut, which was an almost completely instrumental affair, Let Us Never Speak of It Again shifts more towards tech house/dance-pop, adding vocals by drummer Phyllis Forbes and cellist Molly Schnick. While received fairly favorably, some reviewers lamented the shift, calling it a step back from their debut. Their song "How Long" appeared in the 2007 movie I Know Who Killed Me, starring Lindsay Lohan.
