- MORR MUSIC start the year off with an album that is, without a doubt,
the label's most accessible release to date, the remarkable debut from Florida
duo, ELECTRIC PRESIDENT.
- Like other releases on the label there is a definite electronic feel
in the arrangements, but this is a pop record through and through. And not
just any pop record - it's hard to believe that Jacksonville Beach natives
Ben Cooper and Alex Kane are only 23 and 21 respectively when they produce
songs this masterful. As Ben Cooper says, "the idea was to integrate
computers into the process as much as possible, but without making it an
'electronic' record."
- Sure to appeal to fans of Ben Gibbard's DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE & THE
POSTAL SERVICE projects, the album also recalls the melancholic storytelling
of EELS and the blending of intimacy and power of SNOW PATROL & dEUS.
- If you have never grabbed or even listened to a MORR MUSIC release
this is absolutely the perfect place to start.
- CHECK THE GLOWING PRESS ELECTRIC PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY GARNERED: PITCHFORK "Beck
on valium, a lo-fi garden of delight. It starts slow and meandering and then
gradually it builds to a sunny state. Electric President's debut is brilliant." DUSTED "A
pretty percolating electro-pop record that embraces sweetness and strangeness
in equal measure." popmatters.com "The duo of Ben Cooper and Alex
Kane are both in their early 20s, but given the depth of the songs, they
could be mistaken for being far older with a jewel of an album.8/10."
- On the back of such a strong international buzz you can be confident of
strong radio & press support here in Oz!
