Description
Being a "home recording artist" isn't what it used to. With laptops and recording software, musicians can get some pretty slick, intimate recordings. Oakland musician Neil Campau, who goes by the moniker Electrician, bucks the trend and creates some oddball, deliberately lo-fi recordings. They sound like loose folk jams played through an overly fuzzed-out electric guitar, backed by a Casio drum machine. The music is dreamy, and flirts with pop structures without ever committing to them. Campau's voice is jerky and packed with constantly conflicting emotions. (Aaron Carnes)
