This is the second album by ELECTRIC PRESIDENT (Ben Cooper & Alex Kane), made in the same shed in Jacksonville Beach, Florida as their previous records and in Alex's bedroom. Featuring a glottal-rich vocal style that invites comparison with the boy Gibbard, ELECTRIC PRESIDENT's Ben Cooper has a slow-burn predilection that could have easily sunk into syrupy no-mans land; but thanks to the confident arrangements on back up duty, this never transpires. The second album is once again indie-pop coated in a lambent film of laptop filaments, resulting in a sound which straddles the dEUS, American Analog Set and The Go Find border regions. Track 5 "Ether" is an absolute metamorphosis in the tradition of Franz Kafka or Orson Welles - a typical Ben Cooper pop song that is hymnal but never theatrical. "Monster" forms sounds into a melodic, sparkling landscape, while "Graves And The Infinite Arm" is a dark, melancholy, gothic novel. The wind blows the sounds away. And us with them.
