The wait is finally over:after nearly four years since Bowery Electric released their lastfull-length record, "Beat," the new CD is out and the band is ready toface an anxious world. Lushlife is an eleven-track collection of songsthe band has been constructing in their relatively new digital homestudio in Brooklyn and their first full-lengther for Beggars Banquet.Fear not as there's no bad blood between them and former label, Kranky.The music, much like 'Beat' combines lush textures, low end bass lines,treated guitars, hip hop beats with airy vocal tracks provided byMartha Schwendener. There's no flaws in the wonderful production andcaptivating sounds. Although the beats may seem familiar in parts,they're only merely underlining the overpowering beautiful soundscapes.The style has evolved for the band yet the aesthetic has not changed -the writing is never anything complicated, the live playing isn't ashowoff and the lyrics aren't much more than another instrument - butthe sound is incredible. My only problem with the disc is that it endstoo damned soon.
