[edit] In the Press

The Village Voice alt-weekly has frequently mentioned the subject of the band's attire, with controversial blogger and (former) Voice writer, Nick Sylvester referring to them as having "ousted Animal Collective as the Village People of Brooklyn Noise" ^[3]. The significance of their hats were noted several more times.^[4] However, the band actually dresses like this all the time in their personal lives and thus it is incorrect to classify it as being costume.^{[citation needed]}
