PE is a rotating cast of Tristan Marcum (Vells), Darrin Wiener (The Plastiq Phantom), Jeremiah Green (Modest Mouse, Red Stars Theory), James Bertram (Built To Spill, Modest Mouse), and Seth Warren (Red Stars Theory). The sound is a mash-up of 8-bit (though the mastering job makes the Game Boy sound like an 808!?) electronics via Gameboy, Guitar, and Vocals.
