Electric Six. The band that put out an album a year for what seemed like 666 years. The most reliable act in show business, there was simply no question that each year would bring another E6 record on Metropolis Records. Mayans based their calendar on Electric Six. Flocks of migrating birds used the new Electric Six record as a homing device. Small time criminals were sentenced to four to seven E6 albums with time off for wonderful behavior. In a business so fickle, so unreliable, so difficult to navigate...the only constant was Electric Six. There was always an album a year.......until there wasnt.Five years has gone by since the last Electric Six offering and weve heard the chatter. Electric Six just doesnt have it anymore. Electric Six has really let me down. Gotye will have an album before Electric Six does.As we all know...talk is cheap. And bullshit walks. And now theres a new goddamn Electric Six record ready to go and its good, Jack. Real good.Behold Turquoise is here, the long awaited studio album return of Electric Six!!! Perhaps the catchiest, brightest album in their catalog, Electric Six reminds you how profoundly fun they can be, hitting you over the head with fourteen pop explosions guaranteed to burrow their way into your dance hole.The recording of Turquoise began in January of 2020, but you know, something distracted us for a couple of years shortly after starting the record. The pandemic tacked a bit of time onto the schedule of this project and Electric Six certainly felt the need to tap into the collective feelings of the time in tracks like Panic! Panic! and the title track Turquoise.The overall vibe of Turquoise ranges from the infectious pop of Take Me To The Sugar and Staten Island Ass Squad, to the heavy rock of Child Of Hunger and Skywriting, to the Springsteeny goodness of Units of Time. Electric Six is a band for all tastes , all times and all sizes.The pandemic slowed us all down and ripped time into shreds. It forced Electric Six to take a little time to look at itself in the mirror. Andwho did Electric Six see staring back? The answer? It saw Electric Six. It saw Turquoise. When a band finally makes an albumthisexciting, it doesnt need to do anything else anymore anytime soon ever again.But it will.....Electric Six can never die. And we are still the band that does one album a year....if you re-define year. Which we do.
