"Drums and Guns" envelops listeners in a hauntingly atmospheric soundscape, characterized by Low's signature minimalist approach. The album features a blend of ethereal vocals and sparse instrumentation, with a focus on layered guitar textures and subtle percussion that create a dreamlike quality. Tracks like "Belarus" and "Dragonfly" showcase a slow, deliberate tempo, allowing the emotional weight of the lyrics to resonate deeply.

The juxtaposition of delicate melodies and darker themes throughout the album contributes to its unique sonic identity, making it a compelling exploration of mood and texture.
