Label Review.
2017 album.
Our Overview.
‘Electric Lines’, is the new album from the multi-faceted musician Joe Goddard, who is one of the most prolific and well-respected indie/electronic artists in the U.K. His first since his debut 2009 album ‘Harvest Festival’ and helmed by the collective Shynola, (who have also worked on Radiohead, Beck, Blur, and Queens of the Stone Age). The album is all about connections and the title refers to the colourful cables that link the modules in his Eurorack synthesizer and to the invisible wires that run between all the different kinds of electronic music that he loves.
An apt title for a record which brilliantly unites the strands of his prolific career: member of Hot Chip and The 2 Bears, songwriter, producer, DJ, Grammy award winning remixer and co-founder of the Greco-Roman label.
Like Four Tet, Caribou and Jamie xx, Joe combines a thirst for experimentation, an instinctive understanding of the dance floor and a love of left-of-centre pop music. ‘Electric Lines’ confirms his place in the front rank of British producers.
