Album Review

Electrelane
No Shouts, No Calls Too Pure

Article written by Elisabetta P - Apr 26, 2007

Opposites attract, a lesson that from its chemistry domain has spread to reach a new form of expression in music.

The unequivocal message of Electrelane fourth album�s title � �No Shouts, No Calls� � leaves no guess for the unexpected unfolding of the album by means of a skilful cohesion of attracting contrasts. The joy and passion perceived in the bold organ and drums sections of opener �The Greater Times� and �Saturday� harmoniously clash against detached vocals and lyrics of loss of love.

Instrumentals with chiming indie rock guitars and urgent drums which persistently grab and relent momentum in �Five� and �Between The Wolf and The Dog� are met by the tender and ghostly vocals of �In Berlin� and �At Sea�. It is in the closing �The Lighthouse� that emotional spiralling pianos and metallic drums are finally brought together to seal this enticing contrast of coolness and emotions, individuality and communion and evocative experiments of indie rock and pop aesthetics.
