Electrelane
Instrumental bands don’t make the best support acts in the world, unless they’re supporting an instrumental band. In which case you’re at a very strange gig indeed.
Electrelane used to be predominantly instrumental. Certainly around the time that I saw them supporting Throwing Muses (early 2003), they were a band that were just beginning to find their way in attaching lyrics to music – only one of their songs really struck me as being ‘very good indeed’.
Their second album The Power Out, released last year, is now on the iTunes Music Store. As is their brand new single. It’s very Stereolab, but with more guitars and is rather nice.
