Description of Rock It to the Moon
Originally released on Electrelane's own label Let's Rock in 2002, `Rock It To The Moon' received much critical acclaim and established Electrelane's as a unique and powerful band. Shunning conventions and expectations, it is a primarily instrumental record that builds with passion, intensity and atmosphere at every twist and turn. `Rock It To The Moon' is a pulsating, spiralling and emotive beast where dirty metal-derived guitar riffs, heavy bass-lines, omnipresent intoxicating Farfisa organ and a centred, building drum beat weave and climax in a thrilling nu-wave, garage-rock and Krautrock-esq combined assault. At once avant-garde, yet also toying gently with a pop aesthetic - the animated organ on `Film Music' and `Blue Straggler' and the chugging guitar, hand-clapping and harmonising on `Spartakiade' - each track is unforgettably infectious.By turns hard rocking and atmospheric, the aptly titled Rock It to the Moon is this British foursome's excellent debut CD. Electrelane creates garage rock with a difference in the tradition of the Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray," the Fall, and early Stereolab. A typical track alternates between moody impressionistic passages and urgent grooves driven by effective straight-ahead drumming. Things like odd vocal parts, radio sounds, or guitar noise often tweak the tunes. Verity Susman works wonders with her Farfisa. Her approach might evoke Question Mark & the Mysterians and other outfits that favor simple, catchy keyboard parts, but she definitely brings her own distinctive touch to the album. On "Gabriel," she pairs organ and glockenspiel to create a sparkling tone that lights up the track. The group branches out on "Many Peaks" and "The Boat"; the former features lovely piano, strings, and horns, while the latter is an eerie low-end soundscape. A fine first album that glances backward in time as it moves forward. --Fred Cisterna
