"Night Of The Living Electrical Appliances" continues the Girl One And The Grease Guns approach to writing and recording - mixing pure electro-pop with more experimental, darker sounding tracks. The pop side of the band is in full force on this LP, with tunes such as "He's A Replicant", "She's A Calculator" and "Emergency (Dial 999)". The moodier, more stripped back and skeletal side of the band is also represented in recordings such as "Telegraph Street", "Mute Your Gums" and the frankly eerie album closer, "(She Sits) In The Freezer". If you're looking for musical influences stored within this package - there's a few of them. Rumour has it they pumped tracks by Cabaret Voltaire, Silicon Teens, and Crash Course In Science, as well as early stuff by Depeche Mode and The Human League into the studio for inspiration. They wanted to give the whole album its own kind of sound - a little bit different from what has gone before, but also, still familiar to anyone who already knows the music of Girl One And The Grease Guns. They're pretty confident that they've managed to achieve that.
Cripes!!! The new GOATGG album is a dark, synth-y slice of nice! Robotic, gothic influences permeate the sultry and suggestive otherworld-y oddness and B-movie bizarreness... But oh so good! These outsides sure do swing. Imagine if (John Pertwee) Doctor Who regenerated into Alan Vega instead of Tom Baker or that episode of Danger Mouse when all the electrical equipment went crazy was sound-tracked by Flying Lizards and Theatre Of Hate and you're halfway there...Lo-fi jangle meats weird-fi mangle...Awesome!
