Lady Elctric is a Polish power trio offering Post-Rock, Shoegaze instrumental sounds with forays into Psychedelia and Stoner. The new EP “Before” was released on November 29, 2024 and contains three tracks between 5 and 10 minutes long. The opener ‘Seaside II’ is a 10-minute epic, and is the longest on the album, developing an elaborate rhythm section with intricate drumming and a driving bass line. The guitar offers layering melodies and sophisticated interventions. The blend of modern sounds interweaves Post-Rock atmospheres with Shoegaze atmospheres, with the guitar as the protagonist along this long instrumental. In the second part, the intensity increases, incorporating more heavy elements to the sound and evolving the central theme of the song, concluding in a crescendo. “Desdemona” features an accelerated rhythm section with a hypnotic bass line, while the guitar offers distorted and rough interventions. Between Space Rock, Shoegaze and a dose of Post-rock and Experimentation the track evolves with quality ideas and solo interventions and modulations and effects. This EP ends with “DK6,” another long track of over 7 minutes, which returns to more ethereal and dilated sounds, intertwining Post-Rock and Shoegaze with scratchy guitars. The rhythm section is enriched by continuous tempo changes, developing the theme of the track with guitar work, exploring the different facets that make up the band’s style. A good journey into the band’s sound, ending in a crescendo with distorted and heavy guitars and enriched by a massive dose of effects. A good record release for this band that is adept at mixing influences from different genres and styles and offering their own personal sound. The interweaving of Post-Rock, Space, Pychedelia and Shoegaze is successful, offering three tracks that are varied and different from each other but complementary in forming an intense and enveloping tracklist. A recommended listen for lovers of modern sounds between Post-Rock, Shoegaze and Psychedelia.
