Electrelane - No Shouts No Calls

No Shouts No Calls is an undemanding record, perhaps the most undemanding of Electrelane's career, and the reason looks to be a simple one: Verity Susman's heart has broken, and, as a result, abstract artiness has given way to candor.

An inverse of Axes, No Shouts No Calls is mostly songs with vocals with a few instrumentals thrown in for good measure, and it is, of course, with the help of the lyrics that we get an impression of the heartbroken nature of the album. These are the most personal lyrics that Susman has yet written — or, if not the most personal, then certainly the most explicit. The candidness meshes well Electrelane's customarily bittersweet music.

Stereolab - Margerine Eclipse

Needless to say, Stereolab have, with Margerine Eclipse, crafted another batch of exceptional songs that at the same time manage to somehow sound both cheerful and melancholic.

The band is back in top form here: Laetitia Sadier’s vocals are as gorgeous and plaintive as ever, and Tim Gane’s music, still toying with krautrock and faux-lounge, is as creative as it has always been.
