The Soaked Lamb não são imunes ao que se passa à sua volta, à contemporaneidade, mas preferem tocar sentados. No fundo, compoêm com uma lentidão que não é nada moderna. The Soaked Lamb não têm tempo para ter pressa, fazem as músicas como eram feitas há setenta ou oitenta anos, com o cuidado de quem faz uma melodia para durar.
