After releasing arguably one of the best albums of the year out of Windsor last year with As The Animals Make Their Way Through The Crowds, Explode When They Bloom is back in the studio, working on a new record.
And today, as a special present, they have unveiled the first single, "Electric Love" (featuring a guest solo from Vincent Manzerolle (Measured In Angles, Poughboy), which features all the aggression we're used to with the EWTB camp. While EWTB has been compared to bands like At The Drive In or Fugazi in the past, this song actually reminds me of The Cult (perhaps the name is an homage to their two best albums?). Okay, perhaps not from the Love or Electric era, but the single that could have come out during their comeback a few years back. It has all the balls on rock-a-bility of such Cult classics as "Love Removal Machine" or "Wildflower", but it's got a fuller and richer sound than either of those. At least, it's the single they should have released - can't say I even recall what The Cult released for that. Thankfully though, this face melter of a rocker isn't The Cult though. It's our own Explode When They Bloom. And if it's any indication of the new record, they may have to change their name to Explode When They Boom.
You can check out "Electric Love" at their MySpace page now...
