Review by: Alex Deller
Twenty minutes’ worth of instrumental meanderings from this fourpiece who’ve apparently brushed aside their jazz studies in the name of some more immediate rock action. Starting with the ballistic clatter of Surf before stretching out into more thoughtful territory with Don’t Send Me Home‘s From Monument to Masses-style melodic groove, New Electric have set up stall and wormed their way into the back of your head before you’ve even realised you were supposed to be bored with this whole instrumental lark. Over the course of this twenty-minute taster they’ll pull you this way and that, by turns smothering you with languid grooves and shaking you out of your seat with spiralling guitar ejaculations, making sure there’s more than enough for fans of Fugazi, Mogwai and Don Caballero to pick over and unravel until their full-length comes together.
