The name “No Shouts, No Calls” is a reference to a line from the 2003 film “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World."Īll songs written by Electrelane and Verity Susman, except where noted. Leonie Cooper of The Guardian, who mentioned the band had a "penchant for turning every tune a proggy wig-out." James Reed of the Boston Globe picked the album as one of the best of 2007. The album received generally positive reviews, with Heather Phares of Allmusic calling some songs "among the band's finest work" detractors included The first single, titled "To the East," was released on 12 March 2007. The album was released in on 23 April 2007 in Japan, in the USA and 30 April 2007 elsewhere. In November, the band announced on their official website that they had finished recording and had titled their album No Shouts, No Calls. In September and October, they were at Key Recording in Benton Harbor recording and mixing their album. During that period, the band became fans of the sport, going so far as to rearrange their recording schedules around the event and including a sample of a match between Hertha BSC Berlin and FC Moskva in the song "Five" of their new album. The group began writing material in Berlin's Planet Roc studios in the summer of 2006, at the height of the World Cup. No Shouts, No Calls is also their first album to be entirely digitally recorded and mixed. It was released on CD and LP in 2007 by Too Pure.
But it annoys me, because conceptually, I should love this record, but I don't.No Shouts, No Calls is the fourth album by English rock group Electrelane. The second half of the album is better than the first. This improves on the second half of the album, where there is more textural variation. Much of the texture is all very much the same. That's what I love about dronerock, the spinning out of controlness when a band cuts loose. 2) This is more subjective, but perhaps it is so well crafted and so precise that I get no sense of abandon from it. On their latest album, No Shouts, No Calls, the all-female group displays a production-free grittiness that makes it sound less of this era, but. The snare is particularly problematic, and interferes with my listening enjoyment. They have a good drummer, but the production makes her sound like she's hitting a sack of wheat. It's a nice album, it's well made and well crafted, but it leaves me cold. Big droney organs, girly harmonies, motorik beats. Why? It makes no sense, it's got lots of elements that should be perfect Kate Bait. I keep trying to like it, but it does not capture me. This is one of the great mysteries of the universe for me.
