The first single to be taken from the forthcoming album ‘No Shouts, No Calls’ (out Mon 30th April), ‘To The East’ is a bass-driven concoction of stick-tapping, guitar riffing hypnosis that uses repetition and other dance music tactics to worm it’s way into your consciousness. The rock instruments however, give an organic feel to the finished sound, and the addition of Verity Susman’s earthy, rather bare sounding vocals give the track a vulnerability that is like a heart laid on the line.
Its backed with the botanical-gardens chime of ‘Carolina Wren’, an instrumental that features a harpsichord awash with birdsong. Thus the strange delicacy of the ELECTRELANE sound is unravelled, making for intriguing and original listening. Strange rock/synth fusion, with a fragile core, in places, its quite, quite beautiful.
