Composition
Twin Plagues has musical footing in "punchy" grunge pop and "vitreous" guitar-pop, and is "as indie rock as it gets." It also leans into dissonant noise pop and shoegazing sounds.
Critical reception
Twin Plagues was welcomed with generally positive reviews upon its release. Kelly Liu of Pitchfork saw the band's sound as "big and loud...with an undercurrent of anxiety beneath the clutter."
