Electric Six - Turquoise (Vinyl LP)

Details: Electric Six. The most reliable act in show business, there was simply no question that each year would bring another Electric Six record. Mayans based their calendar on it. Migrating birds used the new Electric Six record as a homing device. Small time criminals got four to seven E6 albums with time off for wonderful behavior. In a business so fickle, so unreliable, so difficult to navigate, the only constant was Electric Six. There was always an album a year. Until there wasn't. 5 years has gone by, & Electric Six has heard the chatter. Electric Six just doesn't have it anymore. Electric Six has really let me down. Gotye will have an album before Electric Six does. As we all know, talk is cheap. Bullshit walks. Now there's a new goddamn Electric Six record ready to go & it's good, Jack. Real good. Behold! Turquoise is here, the long-awaited return of Electric Six! Perhaps the band's catchiest, brightest album, Electric Six reminds you how profoundly fun they can be, hitting you over the head with fourteen pop explosions guaranteed to burrow their way into your dance hole. The pandemic slowed us all down & ripped time into shreds. It forced E6 to take a little time to look at itself in the mirror. Who did they see staring back? It saw Electric Six. It saw Turquoise. Electric Six certainly felt the need to tap into the collective feelings of the time in tracks like Panic! Panic! & the title track Turquoise. The overall vibe of Turquoise ranges from the infectious pop of Take Me To The Sugar & Staten Island * Squad, to the heavy rock of Child Of Hunger & Skywriting, to the Springsteeny goodness of Units of Time. Electric Six is a band for all tastes, all times & all sizes. When a band finally makes an album this exciting, it doesn't need to do anything else anymore anytime soon ever again. But it will. Electric Six can never die. It's still the band that does one album a year... if you re-define year. Which we do.
