Copeland sites musical influence from the artists Neil Young, and Alex Chilton, and the genres of krautrock, shoegaze, and 1990s hip-hop.

The song "Texas" was released as a single, in the Autumn of 2014. Tris McCall says the song "Texas" is "a good one ..from the ever-sharp songwriter Adam N. Copeland nda showcase for his storytelling and scene-setting, and it's set to guitar accompaniment that feels reminiscent of ''Good Earth''-era Feelies." ''
