Electrelane - The Power Out


Electrelane were an all girl quartet from the UK, Brighton specifically. They formed in 1998 and disbanded in 2007, but have reunited recently. I'm hoping for a a couple of records from their side soon. Here's my favourite of theirs, 2004's The Power Out.


Power pop? Post punk? Experimental Pop? Jazz? Choral Music? Nietzsche? Singing in 4 languages? Perfect krautpop that would make Stereolab jealous? Ladies and gentlemen, this is quite possibly the greatest album put out by an all girl band, ever. I'm actually surprised Arcade Fire was the big deal in 2004, because hey, as good as Funeral was, as far as pop music went in 2004; very, very few people were worthy of comparison to Electrelane.

you make me weak at the knees
