April/ May/ 2007-- Review of "Night Songs" in
Stylus Magazine
(courtesy of Kent Davies):
"Local rockers High Watt Electrocutions are a throwback to another decade, drawing on late 60's and early 70's proto-metal to make their distinct sound. Night Songs is full of sweeping, grand, fuzzed out guitars droning into early Suicide and Spacemen 3 territory. The album begins with 'Sonic Maelstrom', a straight dark hypnotic epic infused with heavy brooding guitar work that lays down a tremendous amount of power until it disappears into a few short atmospheric instrumentals that follow. The album doesn't really pick up again until 'Electric Midnight-Scene 1', which is another tremendous blast of dark marching psych-metal that builds into the ambience driven 'The Thief Steals In The Darkness'. There are a few aural treatments in the realm of fantasy folk with "Stranded" and 'Ascention', but for the most part High Watt Electrocutions use a virtual grocery list of instruments and effects to create some of the most mind blowing psych to come out of Winnipeg".
