Jacques states that Deathmøle's style "...started out as a joke- I wanted to write and record a really stupid metal song ... and it turned out to be really fun. So fun, in fact, that I started writing more 'serious' metal tracks, and that’s ... how the music evolved."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jephjacques.tumblr.com/post/9615284925/qa-dump-01/ |title=QA DUMP #01 |work=jephjacques.tumblr.com |access-date=September 3, 2011}}</ref>

Each album typically has seven or eight tracks with Trial Period's three and Moletopopolis' fifteen being the extremes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.last.fm/music/Deathmøle |title=Deathmøle |work=Last.fm |access-date=March 31, 2011}}</ref> The music is Jacques' original work, with the exception of a cover of [[Low (band)|Low]]'s "[[Secret Name (album)|Two-step]]" on ''Long Songs''.

On August 11, 2013, Jacques launched a Kickstarter project with a goal of $9,500 to professionally record the Deathmøle album ''Permanence''. On September 10, 2013, the Kickstarter projects funding period ended with a total funding of $141,115 breaking all 10 of his listed stretch goals.
