Why is this worthy of my time and money?: Electrelane are (we can't bring ourselves to use the past tense, not yet) one of the greatest indie / post-rock bands in the UK today. Their music is daring, drenched in melody and desperately sincere. They also happen to be a cracking live force, capable of dragging a listener through a whole host of emotions throughout the course of an hour in their sonic presence. Yet, as we reported earlier this month, after a gently brilliant career together Electrelane are to call it a day after their Brighton show on the first of December. Here's hoping they'll become the second act ever (after Les Savy Fav) to come back from the dreaded 'indefinite hiatus' - and that they don't leave it too long.
