Brighton, United Kingdom (1998 – 2007)

Electrelane were a band from Brighton, England. They were formed in 1998 by Verity Susman (aka Vera November) (keyboards, farfisa organ, lead vocals, guitar, saxophone, clarinet) and Emma Gaze (drums). Nowadays, the band is composed of these two plus Mia Clarke (guitar, backing vocals) and Ros Murray (bass) (aka Ray Rumours). Their music draws from wide range of influences including Neu!, Sonic Youth, and The Velvet Underground. Their mostly instrumental debut album, Rock It To The Moon was released in April 2001. A second album, The Power Out, which was recorded by Steve Albini, added more vocals and structure to the songs. It was released on Too Pure in February 2004. A third album, Axes, which was also recorded by Steve Albini, was released on 9 May 2005.

The band’s fourth album, No Shout, No Calls, was written in Berlin during the 2006 World Cup, recorded in Benton Harbor, Michigan in late 2006, and released in May 2007 worldwide.

As of 7th November 2007 Electrelane are on “indefinite hiatus.”

I think I'll never stop to find something new and perfect in their music. Few days ago listened to the live version of "This Deed". And I felt in love with them again and again and again and again...

Well, I'm curious, 'cus I've never heard Electrelane before. The last song i've heard in here, that really caught me on ,has been "slow" (from MBV). Mind u, I've been a major fan of Stereolab, and I simply adore Broadcast. 1st play:Well it doesn't immediatly strike me as being outstanding , or so, which is actually a good sign., 'cus too catchy isn't exactly my cup of aural tnt.Let's push"replay" for a 2nd listen ...(after about 45 min into 2nd play):oww...this is gonna be a hit on the head with a knock of the knucles...Knock! here it cumms..and there I go, on a multi-layered sonic wave I flow, "To the East"...and yess,the east means so many things, but it could be home ,it could be home ...for u & me ,.. it could be home, it could be home,..so come back ,come back.,come back ,to meeeheeheeheee.....
