Electric Press Kit, Torsions
Blu-Crush Records /
CD

Après maintes démos, un premier album studio en 2006 ("Analogic") et une anthologie en 2010 ("Rereleased"), le duo d'Electric Press Kit revient avec ce
brûlot post-punk qui combine la folie d'un Alien Sex Fiend et la rugosité rampante de Wire. Gardant ses couleurs cold lo-fi, Electric Press Kit est
néanmoins métamorphosé par une très belle production sonore qui met en valeur le goût pour une efficacité axe Bérurier Noir/Metal Urbain ("Power of Hate") et un minimalisme néo-cold qui rappelle la radicalité du son des premiers Siglo XX. Refusant la séduction facile et défendant un univers instable et oblique, Electric Press Kit réussit avec "Torsions" un disque touchant, parfois âpre mais éminemment personnel.

" …Electric Press Kit réussit avec "Torsions" un disque touchant, parfois âpre mais éminemment personnel."
- Silver Edward, Trinity webzine

"'Torsions' goes off on a dancey kick, with fragrant guitar, pale vocals and a succinct close, followed by a supremely beautiful ghostly bonus song with more of the subtle guitar and tinny drums. It's a crafty romp, this disc and easily their best work."
- Mick Mercer , Mick Mercer Review

"...une musique directe qui n'accorde pas de place aux facilités mélodiques"
- Maxymox, Voxempirea.com

"La parution très attendue du dernier disque d'ELECTRIC PRESS KIT intitulé Torsions (Blu_Crush Records) marque une étape déterminante pour ce groupe prometteur!"
- M.-L Questin, La Salamandre, n°15, p.77.

"ELECTRIC PRESS KIT (...) s'affirme aujourd'hui comme un des meilleurs espoirs du post-punk français en activité. EPK s'offre même un hit potentiel carrément punk:"Power of Hate"! "
- Y.Blay, Elegy, n°69, p.6.

"Au final, un album moins hermétique que la plupart des sorties dark, sans concession à un éventuel underground, facile d'accès mais doté d'imparables mélodies et se révélant de plus en plus intéressant au fil des écoutes. "
- Revco, AXESSCODE

"Electric Press kit s'affirme enfin...."
- E.Hennequin, Obskure, n°4, p.94


"Pour ce pari temporel réussi et pour la qualité de ces compositions abrasives et habitées, j’ai envie de dire bravo, et vivement la suite…"
- Lilith 79, Les acteurs de l'ombre

Electric Press Kit
Torsions
(Blu-Crush Records)


I can’t believe it! How did they put all of this awesome energy, and adrenaline, in just a little silver disc? I received this music for review and said: “Let’s check this one” …and my jaw hit the floor, what a surprise! The rhythm section sounds quite BIG: The drum Machine is gigantic; it sounds so powerful, the bass lines are loud and clear filling every possible void, while providing some great dose of melody to the rhythm section. The guitars have high-voltage sound, and the voice is giving here its 100% with intensity. They have done a wonderful combination of Post Punk, and Alternative sound. it’s a fascinating and invigorating hybrid style, and it has the ADN of The Music from The New Millennium. Definitely you have to play this one at the highest volume. Electric Press kit is a new band from France, and they have very exciting music. “This Night” has this rhythm which is like a big mechanic heart-beat, this will shake you up. The guitar work is very remarkable, and the bass lines are dominant. Everything here is well constructed, and the melody is captivating. ”Born In Roswell” really rocks very loud with faster rhythm, and electricity.”Always Aliens” has some dark feel, and it has lots of style and attitude. “Venom” is a delicious rocking tune, a good balance between Post Punk and Alternative sound; really like it.“Tout Ce Quit Destruit” (All That Destroys) is such a fine Post Punk tune a la Electric Press kit, very melodic and entrancing. “Cold In April” has a warm sound, and is more Rock oriented.”Power of Hate” is the most powerful track of this record; adding some dose of Punk fury, and light-speed rhythm to their sound. This one is like Heavy artillery.”Sayonara Baby” has a perfect balance between energetic sound, and melody.”Die” has similar characteristics to the previous one, and some Punk tones in the back ground; is pretty interesting.”Torsions” closes this album, and is very melodic.

As I said before, this is quite a good surprise. If you like of bands like Ulterior and Partly Faithful you have to check this one. At the end of the day their unique sound is hard to describe, but so easy to enjoy. This record is both powerful and refreshing.
