Electricity In Our Homes new EP 'We Agree Completely' is a total winner. I think i've heard a couple of singles but they've not quite sunk in as effectively as this 12" EP. They've got the whole post punk style well down!!! Message of Joy reminds me of the bands like Gang of Four, ESG, Contortions and The Slits. On a contemporary note they also share a little in common with Liars (especially on 'Hooves') and maybe Erase Errata, though I put this down to being influenced by the same kinds of bands.. They have the ability to come of sounding both competent and amateur in the same breathe, almost as if they wanna break free from their own musical limitations. All six songs are worthy cuts and all make imaginative use of the instruments at their disposal. I think the bass playing is particularly awesome and the guitars have the occasional D. Boon vibe, especially on the ultra hummable 'Don't You Want To (Follow)'. This is the sound of a band who are on the verge of taking things to the next level, a good time to get into them me thinks. Modern post punk at it's best and a real pleasurable listen. Awesome stuff. Ultra recommended by me!!!

The new record is dangerously good. The follow-up to February's 7"
with 4AD and the most innovative release so far, EIOH seem to be
discarding the amateur shackles and letting rays of ambition shine
through as much as their infectious individuality. This is a band able
to produce easily the most exciting music of 2009 using only half
their potential. Great things are surfacing, we should be more
appreciative that bands like Electricity In Our Homes exist. A future
great.
