The name of the band was coined by the main character of the short story "Blumfeld, ein älterer Junggeselle" by Franz Kafka.
They can be compared to bands like The Good Life, Herman Düne, Bright Eyes, Arcade Fire, The National, Pavement, Luna, The Velvet Underground, Silver Jews, Sonic Youth or German art rockers Blumfeld in their wide array of musical spectres held together by the distinct voices of Björn Sonnenberg and Stefanie Schrank.
