No Shouts No Calls

Back in stock. Having perfected a brand of playfully experimental indie-rock on their previous three albums, culminating in the messy, fitfully thrilling 'Axes, No Shouts, No Calls' sees Electrelane ploughing a much more linear furrow. For the first time, song craft and way with melody is pushed to the fore in favour of an immediate, often catchy sensibility. It's a bold move, one that will irk the purists, but it's one that feels entirely natural and a big, brave step forward for the band. This directness still comes allied to the influences that have driven Electrelane's sound thus far (Sonic Youth, Stereolab and Neu!).Lavish Deluxe Double LP.
