Product note

Bowery Electric: Lawrence Chandler (vocals, guitar); Martha Schwendener (vocals, bass); Michael Johngren (drums).
Recorded at Studio Forty-Five, Hartford, Connecticutt.
While Bowery Electric's self-titled, self-produced debut has a number of fairly obvious influences--Spacemen 3, Loop, and My Bloody Valentine, for example--the important thing is what they do with those influences. Signed to Chicago's Kranky Records, Bowery Electric weld layered, trance-inducing guitar riffs to powerful beats, creating dense, neo-industrial soundscapes augmented with vocals and pulsing bass notes. The humanizing effect thus generated is often absent in the work of their influences and peers.
Standouts include the swirling "Next to Nothing," which highlights a solid, funky beat and lush man/female vocal duet, and "Over and Over," a sedate and very stately instrumental employing only a twisting interplay of guitar and bass. In the cyclically structured "Slow Thrills," a guitar riff ebbs and flows, spinning a web of echoing metal over a skeleton of steady, percussive beats. Perhaps the most impressive thing about BOWERY ELECTRIC is that the dense, mesmerizing sound seems so natural that it comes as a great shock when the songs end.
