Order now! Our second record, "Whatever Happens, Happens" EP. The title track is insistent guitar pop. The remaining two tracks use piano to different ends: 'Despite This' is jazz-tinged, low-key, haunting; 'One Shot' has a solid groove, building the dynamic up.

Reviews for "Like I Said" EP:

"melancholy femme-pop, lush and shimmering with MBV promise"
- Everett True,
Plan B Magazine: Singles Club

"3 beautifully melodic pop tunes" 4/5
- Is This Music? Magazine

"A female-led journey through pop... Electrum should be turning up on a Sophia Coppola score near you"
- Stewart Gardiner, FACT Magazine

"Electrum write and perform some of the best songs I've heard; simplicity and beauty wrapped up in 3 minute passages. Genius."
- Mark, Tartanpodcast

Other Press:

In our feature in Plan B's The Void section:

"exquisite"

"Three songs of burning torches, sombre longing, and the pinprick of adolescent winters"

"songs to cuddle up close to, gripping perhaps a little too tightly in the rush of the moment. They suggest things that are about to happen, and the fear that they may not transpire"
