Kelly Rossum
Electropolis


Twin Cities Feature – Best Local CDs of 2005

“Here’s a band that gets it right the first time. More than half the songs on Electropolis were improvised on the spot, and none were sweetened later with post-recording studio tricks; this is as close to live as it gets. But what is it exactly? Jazz, mostly, though with a penchant for woozy electrobleeps and noirish sax skronks, and a punk and post-rock sensibility that recalls The Lounge Lizards. The group has played a couple of notable local shows as a live soundtrack for highly stylized film classics like Metropolis and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and perhaps those movies offer the best comparison: vigorously inventive, sometimes a little creepy, and always compelling.”
