Музыка и песни Electric Six / Electric Six

ELECTRIC SIX's ninth studio album. Producer Johnny Nashinal is the sherpa, executing a 14-track ascent that leaves everyone gasping for oxygen, but in the best possible way. The ROKY ERIKSON-meets-T.REX opener "Nom de Plume" makes it clear right away that ELECTRIC SIX has got that whole "let's do a synth and drum machine record" thing off their chest, and they've brought their guitars, their drums, and their blood-curdling screams for this one, yes indeed. The album then winds through the psych-pop of "Jessica Dresses Like a Dragon", the PAVEMENT-pop of "Show Me What Your Lights Mean", and the aggro-pop of "Adam Levine". But this is ELECTRIC SIX, mind you. They are the band that will never be tied to just one sound. And so we also find on "Mustang" a first-time dip of the toe into the P-funk pool in "Late Night Obama Food", as well a stroll down ABC lane for "The New Shampoo". And W. Axl Rose will be looking down from wherever he ended up with a big smile as we get to the summer amphitheatre-friendly "I Never Fucked Her". The anchor track "Iron Dragon" is the most compelling story, not only for its ability to sound like both a NICK CAVE ballad and a POISON/SKID ROW ballad, but also for something much more profound. The outro of "Iron Dragon" was recorded in Moscow's Red Square, a choral squadron comprised of the six American males from E6 singing alongside several Russian females Record Label: Too Many Robots Style: Rock

Electric Six prepares to unveil its eleventh studio album Bitch, don’t let Me die! The album is steeped in themes of mortality, death, discorporation and discoloration…all while it tries to convince you it is actually a work of art, a labour of love. From the pounding, driving opener, “Drone Strikes”, through the 1970s guitar anthem “Two Dollar Two”, Bi*ch…’ reveals that Electric Six knows that it is going to die, but will not go out quietly. From there, the album moves through the pop goodness of “Kids are Evil” and “A Variation of Elaine”, the prog-rock showmanship of “Slow Motion Man”, and even a tribute to Elvis Presley in his more rotund years with “Dime Dime Penny Dime”. “Big Red Arthur” is the anchor track of the album, as it emits a rock-opera bombast that is reminiscent of Radiohead sodomizing David Bowie in the center of his mind. It, like most of the songs on this record, is about death…but it’s kind of funny because it’s only about the death of a fake, out-of-shape drunk Santa Claus who is too fu*king stupid to make it down the chimney correctly. In this case, we just end up laughing at death. And that’s uplifting. To summarize, mortality is everywhere, and this fall, thanks to their new record ’Bi*ch…’ Electric Six will be everywhere too. Everybody gonna die someday, but with Electric Six’s new album, you no longer have to worry about any of it. Record Label: Metropolis Records Style: Rock

With the release of its first live album entitled "Absolute Pleasure", ELECTRIC SIX is being both lionized and canonized. ELECTRIC SIX is being immortalized and this live record is the hallmark of a band that is now within shouting distance of a few of the people who have worked with the all-time greats. Leibowitz. Horsestein. Schurgin. Romanovsky. Edelweiss. Names that will forever be preserved in amber, and we are witnessing the next chapter folding beneath our very eyes. Recorded on two nights in May 2012 at First Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota and The Double Door in Chicago, Illinois, "Absolute Pleasure", is the quintessential ELECTRIC SIX live set. It features selections from each of its 8 studio albums, with a slant toward material off its first album, Fire. Throw in a cover song to show you that we respect those who ascended before us, and there's an ELECTRIC SIX set. It is a painstakingly accurate representation of an Electric Six show and it is now for the first time ever duplicated, mass-produced, packaged and very much for sale. When you buy this album you will be buying live versions of all the ELECTRIC SIX songs you know from the radio and the YouTubes, but you will also hear your own screams compressed, digitized and sold back to you. Your screams..fuel ELECTRIC SIX. And now you're on a live record!!!! Our live versions of "Dirty Ball" and "She's White" are awesome on this record! Your screams fuel us and we very much enjoy "pulling up to your pump." LOL!!! When you buy into the idea of a band canonizing itself by selling you live versions of songs it has already released, you just bought yourself a winner. ELECTRIC SIX is Tait Nucleus, The Colonel, Percussion World, Smorgasbord, Johnny Nashinal and Dick Valentine and "Absolute Pleasure" is their rite of passage into hardcore lionization. It is their first and only live record and it's damn close to being a greatest hits as well! You can come see the band as it goes on tour in Europe on the Absolute Pleasure: Livin' The Dream tour.

2006 Смелое размывание границ музыкальных жанров стало визитной карточкой детройтского секстета ELECTRIC SIX. Они умело смешивают диско с панком, синтипоп с роком, добиваясь в итоге воистину уникального звучания, жутко забавного и нереально танцевального. Ироничность ДИКА ВАЛЕНТАЙНА (Dick Valentine) и сотоварищей не знает границ. Отметим, что извращенная кавер-версия хита QUEEN "Radio Ga Ga" несомненно ужаснет всех фанатов ФРЕДДИ МЕРКЮРИ. Но нам-то что с того? Мы хотим танцевать!!! Alex Davie, www.shout.ru
