Electrelane - No Shouts No Calls

Electrelane

I'm embarrased to admit this, but I was reminded about Electrelane when I saw one of the cast members of "Jackass-3D" wearing a shirt with their logo on it. I guess one good thing came out of me sitting through that drivel. I bought this album blindly about 3 years ago and listened non-stop at first. Since recalling that I had it in my library, it's been in recent rotation.

This is the 4th studio release from the all-female band from Britain. It appealed to me as it is a hybrid listen; meaning you can have it as a main focal point or easily play it in the background while working or entertaining. Many people have said that this is the band's best work to date. If I had to describe it I would say it is very instrumentally focused with the vocals thrown in as another instrument. Some of the lyrics are awkward, but they are all appropriate and enhance the sound of the entire album.

If you are looking for something easy and interesting for the ears, I would recommend this pick.
