News update 28/02/05

Electrum will have two releases out fairly soon, but here's a nice review:
Electrum: An Army Of Me (demo)
I had a CDR in the mail from this group the other day. Nothing else, just an unsleeved CDR. Very mysterious, just the way it should be. Very cool, just the way it should be. Continuing the cover version theme started by the Chris Stamey cut, this of course is a Bjork song, and, given that I’m no great Bjork fan, I have to say this is an unqualified success. The other cut on the CDR, an Electrum composition called ‘Interference’ is every bit as good: like Camera Obscura meets The Vibration (and incidentally, check out the Sink And Stove UK issue of the Vibration’s excellent Ear To The Ground EP). Expect to hear a lot more from this mysterious bunch.

The first release is "Interference" on a Tsunami charity compilation on Purpose Built Records, raising money for the Asian Tsunami. This is currently being printed and pressed and will be out shortly.

The second release we're keeping under our hats a bit - it's an EP on a small-ish indie label. We'll be recording this over March, and will post updates soon. We've got about 4 or 5 songs we're working on just now - the best title is "Whatever Happens, Happens". We'll update this to let you know of the progress of recording and release details nearer the time.

We're still waiting to hear about the Bjork "Army of Mixes" thing, but a quick google shows that not many people have heard, so hopefully no news is good news...
