Since their inception, Dumb Waiter has gained a reputation for their frenetic and intricate musicianship, as well as their ability to create complex, yet oddly accessible musical landscapes.

Their work is characterized by a fearless exploration of musical boundaries, as demonstrated in their varied discography which includes releases like "Gauche Gists" and "Is This Chocolate?" Their 2017 album "Cancel Christmas" showcases the band's penchant for dark humor underscored by their technical prowess. Their live performances, captured in releases such as "Dumb Waiter on Audiotree Live," are lauded for their energy and precision, cementing the group's status as a dynamic force within the underground music scene.
