On record the Lonelyhearts' songs build upon waves of synths, guitars, and harmony vocals. In live performances, the band keep it simple: one keyboard, one guitar, two voices. Critics have compared them to the acoustic songcraft of the Mountain Goats as well as the synth-rock of Grandaddy.

Skursula's music is about a violinist and cellist who combine their love of stir frys, classical music, journal scribbles, and whiskey on the rocks into song. Influenced greatly by classical, folk and hip-hop, their music ranges from playful to introspective in character.

Stephanie Rearick's work is dark piano-driven classical/cabaret/pop. In addition to piano, Rearick sings, plays trumpet, and builds pieces with various sound sources live on a Boss Loopstation.
