Sept. 27/ 2008--Review of "Night Songs" in Concrete Web (thanks to Peter):
"Night Songs is my introduction to Winnipeg’s, Canada odd collaboration High Watt Electrocutions, featuring fifteen compositions covering a nice range of ambient/psych/drone music that is slightly similar to some of Spiritualized/Spacemen 3 works. Combining drifting, pulsing shoegaze style guitars with a deliciously Neil Young ‘Dead Man’-like twang to them and liquid bubbling. They use a variety of relatively slow beats and rhythm patterns, overlaying it with tranquil acoustic washes and noisy synth effects. Most of the Night Songs transition smoothly from one to the next, making this very much a full trip experience. High Watt Electrocutions’ sound is diverse and not always immediately accessible, but that’s one of its strong points. It’s the kind of music that grows on you, revealing new dimensions every time you tune into it.
High Watt Electrocutions is very successful in creating a calming, lush and warm, though somewhat disturbed album, recommended for headphones during the late night. A truly excellent and strange release.
92/100
