CD Reviews

Electrelane - 'Rock It To The Moon' (Mr.Lady)
Mike Reed | USA | 01/25/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Coming to you straight out of Brighton,UK.'Rock It...' is the all-female electronic/Avant Garde band's first release,as they have one other that came out as it's follow-up.The gals were supposed to play a pub in my area fairly recent,but the gig was apparently cancelled.If this CD is any indication,they should be decent to see live.Tracks that I thought carried some weight were "Gabriel"(nice keyboard work),"Blue Stranggler",the krautrock-ish "Long Dark" and "U.O.R.".Line-up:Mia Clarke-guitar,Rachel Dalley-bass,Verity Susman-keyboards and Emma Gaze-drums.Might appeal to fans of Sonic Youth,Stereolab,PJ Harvey and KaitO.A very decent find."
Hardly groundbreaking, but worth a listen.

"This insturmental British quartet seems largely known for the number of bands to which they've been compared. I think the comparisons are a little overblown, but the album more than anything resembles a slightly unfinished work. Without vocals (there are some small exceptions here and there), the group just doesn't really manage to carve out its own niche. It lacks a unique sound that lets you know that you're definitely NOT listening to something by another group.All told, if you enjoy the samples, you'll probably enjoy the album in its entirety. While consistent, it's a real mishmash of electronic, punk, and occasionally ambient sounds with a little bit of vocal harmonizing here and there. Not exactly upbeat, not exactly downbeat. It's a little bit of everything without standing out from the crowd-- which makes it difficult to give Electrelane's debut a higher rating."
Rockin' indeed

"so I read the other review, and mostly agree with what was said, I think comparisons to Mogwai and Godspeed You Black Emporer! are a bit of a stretch---this band resembles early Stereolab much more than either of the two previously mentioned bands--its a hard rocking interplay of rhythmic guitar groove, feedback-laced good times--a great background, rocking type of album--wear it jogging, listen to it in the car on a road-trip--you won't be humming catchy riffs per se, but you will tap your foot in time and love the energy--its got that feedback lounge type of feel that makes one think that the girls grew up listening to Stan Getz just as much as the Velvet Underground--Bridgette Bardot followed by Sonic Youth--Esquivel with equal parts Ramones--well...you get the idea"
