Although the entire thing with not having a guitar player is cool, I think the occasional guitar (even if it were just to add ambience in a few songs) as not to overpower the other elements would be nice. Like a guitar played with a violin bow or something weird. Idk, it'd just be pretty cool. It's the element that's missing, because to me, the music feels awkward.
By awkward, I don't mean I hate it, I just feel that something could be done with it...even if it is a little something.
And they wouldn't really just have to do guitar, they could be in charge of samples (not rap related samples, but rather that of quotes/sound effects/loops/etc. or transitions from song to song) as well. I think, in reality, that is what it's missing.
I've always been keen on ambience and pretty much every band/artist I listen to has used the forementioned in some way. I would suggest you looking at bands such as Mum, the Album Leaf, Sigur Ros, Bright Eyes (I know, his singing is horrible, but I meant more for the samples he uses from time to time), Explosions in the Sky, Underoath (again, for samples), Refused (you guessed it, samples!), and Radiohead.
