The music style featured on "The Art is Getting Older" is drum and bass (dnb).

Paluca’s “The Art is Getting Older” steps away from the expected Drum and Bass progressions. This EP has a cinematic feel with long passages dedicated to sound effects taking time to build back to the percussion.

Hello, Eraserhead opens with two piano chords and muted, sparse drums. The track remains sparse introducing discordant strings and distorted lo-fi effects. Changes in passages are like exploring a dusty, abandoned house room by room.

Choosing the Right Answer surges with energy reaching an early crescendo. The main hook is bold, almost sounding like an electric guitar, and clearly a synthesizer pushed to the limit.

The Art of Living Without a Head is sequenced like two drummers trading turns trying to outperform the other with heavily syncopated patterns. The pads or strings and other effects seemingly reacting to the changes in pacing.
