Exitos, the latest and greatest full length from Brad Laner, best known
for fronting the
seminal My bloody valentine-meets-Can unashamedly rock group MEDICINE
whose many
releases on the Def American and creation label left many shoe gazers
chins stroking
and ear's tingling at just how much you can subvert the standard four
piece indie pop
group formula. As well as many other projects like amnesia, personal
electronics,
steaming coils, savage republic and many others. The three previous
electric company
full lengths on Def American ("a pert cyclic omen") , Island ("studio
city") and Vinyl
Communications ("Omakase") proved Mr..Laner's abilities to beautifully
twist jaded
electronica and ambient pop musings all into one experimental epic of no
less than
seventy minutes, (you gotta fill those lil plastic discs up y'know!) but
Exitos showcases
a powerful new change of pace for him, subverting 4/4 dancerhythms and
grainy glitch-
hop funk into the most accessibly twisted electric company album to date.
Created with treated guitar and all the cracked software he can fit into
his powerbook,
exitos is filled with a new sense of rhythmic and melodic structure
similar to artists like
kit Clayton, chain reaction, farben or monolake but with the cut and paste
hard disk
composition aesthetic of mouse on mars, mego/farmers manual, pluramon, dat
politics
and kid606........imagine atom heart jamming with vladislav delay. One of
the best
tigerbeat6 releases to date and probably the most surprising musical
progression in the
electric company discography, open your ears and your minds and your
hearts to it.......
ohhhh.......nice one!
