5 star review in 'Is This Music?'
Electrum
Whatever Happens, Happens
(Criminal)
Sometimes there's just something about a tune which makes you want to play some sort of air instrument. BANG, Electrum's EP kicks off with precise drums, but soon you'll be onto imaginary bass guitar, slung around your knees, Hooky-style. However, this only lasts until the chorus, where feedbacking guitar kicks in and an array of effects pedals do their work in building up a wall of noise. What's not required however is any helping the vocal, as Caireen beautifully and clearly intones a tale of relationship breakup which offsets the frenetic backing perfectly. 5-star stuff. [CC]
