ELECTRIC PRESIDENT - The Violent Blue

2010 (Fake four inc)
dream-pop, indietronica
by Roberto Mandolini
7

Sono indubbie le capacità compositive di Ben Cooper e Alex Kane – i due titolari del progetto Electric President – due penne capaci di scrivere melodie appiccicose che si incollano alla corteccia celebrale fin dal primo ascolto. Sul loro nuovo album, "The Violent Blue", pubblicato dopo due lavori su Morr Music, gli Electric President raccolgono una decina di canzoni di cui almeno la metà aggiornano con successo il manuale dell'indietronica. Si tratta delle prime quattro che aprono il disco – "The Ocean Floor, "Mr.Gone", "Safe And Sound" e "Feathers" – e più avanti in scaletta, della traccia che lo chiude, "All The Distant Ships". Brandelli di malinconia incurabile presentati con un'immediatezza da far invidia a ben più blasonati maestri del pop. I Notwist farebbero carte false oggi per pubblicare un disco come "The Violent Blue".
