Fair warning: You will fall both in and out of love with this song exactly once before it's half over, and these instances (thankfully) fall in the right order. Verity Sussman's vocals are so flat at the beginning of "To The East" that they're completely incoherent; you trust the driving bassline and the synths that back them but only as far as you can throw them. By the time she gets to "I want to hear you say come back, come back, come back to me" two minutes into the thing, she's emerged from her intentionally self-conscious [...]

Tram 21 - Electrelane .mp3
All-girl Brit quartet Electrelane were the soundtrack to my recent trip to Mexico. Not the whole thing, just the flights to and from. More specifically, I'm talking about their upcoming fourth album, No Shouts No Calls, which I think is...
Electrelane - To The East. There's no reason to be teased by this shit. It could've happened anywhere. You went to New York. You saw Cheeseburger (again), you danced, you drank complimentary sake. You sat in the studio. You smashed toilets and watched someone throw a pipe through a television set. You got fucking soaked in the rain. It sure felt like home, didn't it? Missing a few elements though, like a hand to hold, or the sun. I'm not that crazy about long distance relationships, especially with something like a cardinal direction. With Electrelane, who have made one of...

a veces leo cosas que hacen que me entren ganas de que victoria kent y valerie solanas resuciten y les den a todas y a todos su merecido. por ejemplo, trozos de discusiones como esta ... vale, era una provocadora broma. yo venía a decir que lo bueno es que siempre hay mucha gente sensata con la que recordar que merece la pena seguir resistiéndose a ser una lectora potencial de la revista ar . ahí van varios ejemplos. . hace dos meses antonio luque celebraba la onomástica [...]
Here's a little all-female, triple post to make up for my recent absence. Some great stuff: Electrelane are a four-piece from Brighton (England) that have been around since 1998 and are still going strong. Their sound is rough, but not abrasive, grunge, but still catchy, honest, but still idealistic. Though they definitely have a sound all their own, you can hear a little Sonic Youth or Velvet Underground influence if you listen close. The track I have for you guys, "Cut and Run", features some great ukulele-sounding strumming and a nice bit [...]
Electralene give the warm and fuzzies. They're nothing like that band who gave me the warm and fuzzies yesterday . I understand this is a lot of warm and a lot of fuzzy for two days, but there's still way to much snow on the ground in Cleveland for April, and I'm desperate for anything that won't get my socks all soggy. "To The East" with its irresistable mix of vintage organs, sparse guitars, and vocal harmonies can take me anywhere away from the frigid, snow covered shores of Cleveland. I'm not concerned where. It [...]
It's no surprise that Arcade Fire chose Brighton's Electrelane as openers for select Neon Bible tour dates. Current single "To the East" has a few shades of Funeral , with a beat akin to "Rebellion (Lies)" and sharply wavering vocals that bring to mind Régine Chassagne crossed with Nico. With continued listening, you'll find that Electrelane quickly deviates from expectations, offering unique harmonies that show an impressive vocal range from frontwoman Verity Susman and guitarist Mia Clarke. Electrelane - To The East Continuing on the [...]
I wanted to spread a little cinematic music related butter all over SDM, i've been wanting to do it for a few weeks now, but i sorta got sidetracked (please see my previous post). So anyway, I understand how broad this post COULD be, so i decided not to over do it and spend 10 hours putting all of my favorite movie related/themed/titled eggs into one basket, so i just narrowed it down to a few that i flipped out real quick. I thought it best not to spend too much time posting movie scores, you know...pieces that would take [...]

El cuarto álbum de Electrelane , uno de los grupos más personales e interesantes de la escena británica, está en puertas. Verity Susman, Emma Gaze, Mia Clarke y Ros Murray comenzaron a escribir el material de "No Shouts, No Calls" en los estudios Planet Roc de Berlín el verano pasado, persuadidas por el dinamismo vital de la ciudad. Steve Albini , productor de sus dós últimos discos, es substituido aquí por Bill Skibbe y Jessica Ruffins ( Fiery Furnaces , Adult. , The Kills ...), dando pie a [...]
Enorme. Magique. Envoûtant. Mystique... Vous avez sans doute déjà vu tous ces superlatifs dans d'autres reviews de ce concert d' Arcade Fire . Alors je vais casser tout de suite le suspense (pour peu qu'il en restait encore...): oui cette soirée a été énorme, magique, envoûtante et mystique. En arrivant devant l'Olympia, en avance avant l'ouverture des portes, on a d'abord droit à un spectacle plus terre à terre: la revente des places au marché noir. C'est parfois assez chaud entre vendeurs et acheteurs, j'ai presque cru qu'on allait assister à un meurtre à un moment! "T'aurais pas une place [...]
Sorry for the day-long delay guys. Life and work duties called, and I answered. I promise to not be so negligent next time. Moving on... As allegedly over-hyped as the Arcade Fire may be, gaining a spot on the Canadian band's U.S. tour almost instantly guarantees one future success in the music biz, as well as a hefty helping of free publicity. Such good fortune has already befallen Arcade opening band Electrelane , an experimental indie quartet out of Brighton, UK. [...]
Panda Bear - "Take Pills" Before all of the major publications chime in next week, and the backroom murmurs become conventional wisdom, I'd just like to note that Panda Bear's Person Pitch is really quite good. It's more accessible than even the poppiest Animal Collective material, though that doesn't tell you much. The singing, which still sounds like it was recorded in a deep cave, is beautifully recorded and never less than completely melodic even when its being unintelligible. The first half of this song is just that; slow, [...]
Waiting three years since their last LP seems to have worked to the band's credit, as the second half of the album doesn't lag, and none of the songs seem unfinished or put in to simply stretch the album's length.
Día de la Mujer. Cuatro mujeres. Verity Susman, Emma Gaze, Mia Clarke y Ros Murray. Son Electrelane . Su nuevo disco se llama No Shouts, No Calls , sale en abril y To The East es el primer single. Ahora acompañan en su gira europea a Arcade Fire y estarán el próximo mes de julio en Madrid y Barcelona actuando en el Summercase. * Electrelane-To The East (vía Pitchfork)
Another fantastic act gracing the stage @ Sasquatch is Electrelane . Electrelane is an political/art house all-girl outfit that combines droning guitars, keys, bass and drums with tonnes of energy. It's rough, but yet so incredibly focused at the same time. Wow, that reads like a marketing slogan. "Try new coke... or Jello Pudding Pops!" The Berlin-based quartet plays music that I can only describe as delicate grunge. It's catchy, but by now means over produced or even polished. Their new album - No Shout No Calls - combines on the greatness of [...]
