From Washington DC, we get the latest release from indie-artists, TheElectric Grandmother entitled “Love in an Escalator.” Their music is unlike anything that is out in the music industry, believe me. They come closeto sounding a little like the alternative band, Ween, but without any musical boundaries.
The album begins with the title song that is just a keyboard-drivenintroduction that tries to prepare for what’s to come. Their songs are reallyshort snippets of ideas, with the longest one lasting just under 3-minutes. Theyventure in the realm of punk-rock with the 30-second blast of “Reagan’s Got theBomb,” before hitting their stride with “Sitcom-Core.” The Electric Grandmothergo a little “techno” on “Grandpa’s Grave” before hitting the beats, “old-school”with the hip-hop sounds of “Mac and Me” and “Virtual Reality Helmet.” They alsotry their hand at country with the quick-paced “Mrs. Doubtfire,” then sound justlike Ween meets They Might Be Giants on “60 Seconds Of Double Dare.” The albumfinishes up with the keyboard instrumental “The Tired Robot Ride The Escalator.”
The Electric Grandmother will be hitting the road sometimethis year. Check out their website at electicgrandmother.com to find out morefrom this innovative indie-rock band.
