Info: Electric Six. The band that put out an album a year for what seemed like 666 years… The band’s Debut (2003) was released on XL Recordings/Beggars, and since then the most reliable act in show business 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 wasn’t.

Five years has gone by since the last Electric Six offering and we’ve heard the chatter. “Electric Six just doesn’t 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 there’s a new goddamn Electric Six record ready to go and it’s good, REAL good. Turquoise, the long awaited studio album return of Electric Six, stands out as 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. Recordings 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 E6 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 more ‘heavy’ “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. “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.” Turquoise is Electric Six’s 15th studio album so far…
