Metaform - The Electric Mist (2010)

The album begins ominously as ethereal keyboards and brooding drums are quickly joined by a high-pitched singer. “ElectricEyes” introduces a pattern that many of the songs follow. Haunting melodies fitting neatly in a mellow trip-hop tradition are accompanied by atrocious vocal performances on most of the album’s 14 tracks. There can be no excuse for an album of lazy falsetto (“Door Number One”), dance-like deliveries (i.e. the disco-dance ready chorus of “baby girl, I want you to want me too” on “My Love”) and off-key warbles.
