+ / - , or plus/minus , is an american indietronic band formed in 2001 .
the band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments , and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures .
the group has released two albums on each of the american indie labels teenbeat records and absolutely kosher , and their track `` all i do '' was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film wicker park .
the group has developed a devoted following in japan and taiwan , and has toured there frequently .
although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper us import versions , the overseas versions of + / - albums are usually quite different from the us versions - tracklists can be rearranged , artwork with noticeable changes is used , and tracks from the us version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks .
