#3205 Electrelane - The Power Out

A pretty, alien little indie rock album with intimate production that borders on uncomfortable. The vocals are so _ goddamn _ close _, just right all the way up in your ears. Guitars that aren't afraid to put a finger in your forehead out of nowhere.

And then there's the staggering tempos, mismatched instrumentation, all these structures and dynamics all just 30 degrees askew from expectation. Pretty, maybe brilliant, difficult... and upsetting somehow, like some suppressed memory being vibrated. Deeply fascinating, mysteriously unbearable 3.5/5
