Continuing with some new music and a release we here on Metalectro were looking forward to for some time now, especially after the release of the official video for Beatbender‘s “Elevate”. But as of today the duo’s debult album “Elevate” is finally available through Jet Set Trash and let us tell you that it doesn’t fall short of any expectations one might have had from the video, lead singles or enthusiastic and boasting press release. “Elevate” LP comes with 10 originals that move between Electro, Techno and Electronica and having listened to the full release (a few time already) it definitely is an album of high quality and production standards. Dark, heavy, elegant and fresh are the words that come to mind to best describe Beatbender‘s album as a whole. From the first second of the opening and mysterious track, titled “The Strange Story Of Elisa Lam” (those of you familiar with the actual story of Elisa Lam will grasp its beauty on another level), to last one of the chilled Drum & Bass “Outro” this is both a great album and one you should definitely not miss!

For those following Metalectro on a regular basis, you must (or should be aware) of an exclusive preview/work in proggress track we posted last week for an upcoming SBCR (Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo) & Haezer collaboration. For those who didn’t know SBCR will be the personal project of Sir Bob, while The Bloody Beetroots will remain a rock influenced electronic live act. The truth is that we weren’t able to get much info about this rumoured collaboration between the two when we got in touch with Haezer about it but almost immediately after that a SBCR track went online on Dim Mak‘s Soundcloud, from the upcoming “SBCR & Friends” Vol. 1 compilation which will be out on the 17th of March. The said compilation with feature six collaborations with Razihel, Moon Bounce and Eliza Bee & His Majesty Andre. And this only came to pretty much confirm that Vol.02 of “SBCR & Friends” is probably already in the works, with Haezer being one of the collaborators Sir Bob has personally hand picked. So, here’s the track that went public a few days ago from the upcoming Vol.01, titled “The Grid”, for those curious to get a taste. Continue reading »

A artist name that we have definitely missed the last few months is that of our favorite priest duo You Killing Me, who just had a new release out a few days ago on Freakz Me Out and therefore we have something new by them to talk about. The duo had their “Lonely” EP, which includes 3 originals, a few days ago. Two of the tracks have been made public for a while ago (“The 300 Spartans” and “Jean D’Arc”) on the artist Soundcloud but finally saw an official release on February 18, together with the EP same-titled track “Lonely”. Those who have been following You Killing Me‘s work for a while should know what to expect in “Lonely” which follows in the footseps of the most recent You Killing Me work and if you like their vocal driven yet powerful tracks then you’re going to love “Lonely”. And as if the new track/release wasn’t enough to make the duo’s fans happy, an unofficial video for “Lonely” was uploaded on You Killing Me‘s channel using footage from a short film by Adam Berg and Stink Digital titled “Philips Carousel” and let say that the result is looking great, making the whole audio-visual package and experience very enjoyable. So, here’s the unofficial video for “Lonely” and we hope you like it as much as we did. Continue reading »

Review: I Think I Broke Something “Face Lift” EP

A new release that really impressed us this week was I Think I Broke Something‘s new EP “Face Lift”. “Face Lift” might be just the 2nd official release of the live Electronic duo act from Finland but these guys have set very high standards since day one with their debut single “Superman Sabotage Clan” and they haven’t let us down yet, not for even a fraction of a moment. Out on Jet Set Trash a couple of days ago, ITIBS‘ new EP comes with three original tracks which are hard to place in any one specific (sub)genre since they combine a wide range elements from Indie to Electro and Punk to Breaks. What really matters though and is of the outmost importance with this emerging duo is their fresh ideas as they have their own style and character, something that is quite rare nowadays in the Electronic music world. And “Face Lift” EP comes to confirm that just on time as well with its changing moods from one track to the next. From lighter to dark and noisy Electro/Electronica and Punk-y aesthetics, these guys have it all. And if listening to “Face Lift” EP doesn’t convince you then there is nothing else we could possibly add that might. Continue reading »
