Atomic Bride - Electric Order (Self-Released)

Barbara Martinez

 

Angry Arcade Fire on acid

Reminiscent of the aura of “Reflektor‰” but transcending in the Rocky Horror Picture Show universe, Electric Order manages to be confusing and appealing in the same riff. Originating in Seattle and dominated by a guitar god, Atomic Bride teleports you into a dimension unknown to mankind with lo-fi grit and old-school punk vocals. The sound is a little heavy, but uses upbeat synth to balance the overall sound out, making it easily accessible to listeners and giving out psychedelic vibes for a slightly sinister trip. Some sort of lovechild of indie-psych, the choices in vocalization really set the theme of each individual song rather than a cohesive whole. This album is what angsty Martian teens listen to, I‰’m positive.
