Their latest album, We Are the Night, recycles several samples that the team has used in the past—most obviously, they sample their own "Sunshine Underground" on the title track—but the record still manages to sound like the freshest thing they've produced thus far in the 21st century. The songs mainly stay within the Brothers' established psychedelic-electro style, but the arrangements are considerably less dense than their previous efforts, lending the material an ethereal late-night quality.
