Electricity In Our Homes Dear Shareholder CD

2012 debut from the Indie trio. Dear Shareholder is their first album since forming in 2007, which if nothing else shows how the trio have been molding careerist convention to suit their own means in the shadows of this hyper frantic get-rich-quick-or-split-up-trying music industry. With a clattering rhythmic undercurrent, some seriously scratchy guitars and Bonnie Carr's gently growling bass often to the fore, Dear Shareholder melts the mind by putting the Disco into discordant. 'Fast As Lightning' evokes the intense knockabout spirit of Postcard, the hypnotic 'Oranges' is borne of the Stereolab lab, 'Buddy Lemonade' guzzles from the C86 siphon and pretty much everything else sounds like there's a rum-swiggingly room-spinningly ramshackle Peel Session party going on in their head and everyone's invited.
