ELECTRICO We Satellites(Warner Music)I first heard Electrico at a race event. They were playing songs from their very first album So Much More Inside and they were fantastic. I think ever since then I was silently hoping for them to do well.
Much has changed in the four years since their first album was launched. We satellites, Electrico's third album to date, sees the band experimenting with more heavily synthesized and layered sounds, similar to Hip City. With the band also losing lead guitarist Daniel Sassoon in early 2008, progression is to be expected.
Three songs stood out for me, Save our souls, Faces and Aura.
In particular, I thought Aura was a very interesting way to round off the album etereally with electric influences on orchestral strings.
In short, lesser bands might call it quits but Electrico soldiers on producing an album that marks the band coming of age.
