Some wondered how the songwriting team of Consumer Electronics (Philip Best ex-Whitehouse, and Sarah Froelich) would fare after the leaving their London home to take up residency in the United States. Well, here’s the answer: a double album of all new studio recordings. CE deliver a state-of-the-union address that does for our American cousins what the band's earlier "Estuary English" album did for a British audience poised upon the coming madness of Brexit. Unusually for CE, "Airless Space" clocks in at 60 minutes, a hexed induction for a country labouring under a presidency, that like Brexit itself, few saw coming or contemplated having to endure. Soundwise, CE have maybe mellowed the tone a touch, allowing their electronics to stretch out and breathe, whereas the frenzied and anxious vocals of Best and Froelich remain as snatched and breathless as ever. Stunningly produced by Russell Haswell and gorgeously mastered by award-winning cutting engineer Matt Colton, "Airless Space" is Consumer Electronics' their most complete and rounded statement yet. High quality 180gm double vinyl with full colour lyric poster.
