About

Brighton, UK’s Electrelane has created a fourth album that paints a romantic portrait more in line with the promise of their earlier work, in particular, album number two, 2004’s <i>The Power Out</i>. The edges are softer and the vocals are emphasized, and Verity Susman’s lyrics and melodies expose the group’s tender side. Even when the group lock into the metronomic krautrock-lite buzz of “Between the Wolf and the Dog” or the six-minute loop of “Five,” the effect is muted and less about increasing tension or jarring the listener awake with angry guitar slashes than with extending a sense of weightless coasting that leads directly into the gliding pop of “Saturday.” Much like Stereolab, whose love for Krautrock rhythms and cheesy Farfisa organs is similar, Electrelane capture a dreamlike intensity best appreciated for its vagueness.
