one of my favorite power electronic albums,

Estuary English is power electronics??

im not very in touch with these small kinda genres, but

i thought its pretty straight forward pe,lots of power electronics like NTT i thought sound more like industrial but still its called power elektronix, what would you call it?

i mean its not uncommon for pE to have a beat. lots more structuree  then i guess the f&v style power electronic still i d say its PE. theme/lyric-wise its textbook pe but done out standing. good,hateful shit man

Noticed on the Consumer Electronics FB that the new album is available for preorder from Harbinger Sound

They also posted a teaser track/video. Surprised by the lack of vocals on that one, beyond the sounds at the end... Sounds good though!

That track sounds good, absolutely love the cover art.

I've been lucky enough to hear Dollhouse Songs in full. There isn't anything as overly beat-driven as Co-Opted by Cunts on there but there are non-linear percussive sounds on most of the tracks. Very high production standards, a lush palette of electronics.

Slightly fewer screaming vocals this time and more spoken sequences, delivered with great timing. Throat nodules Philip? Me too. Sarah takes two vocal leads surrounding this centrepiece instrumental Nothing Natural. If you ever liked Rosemary Malign's yelling (and I did) you'll love this stuff.

Extremely strong and powerful lyrics throughout and the final track Colour Climax is especially devastating, with a nod to an old Whitehouse lyric on there - almost unbelievably however the album ends on a note of hope, and the relief is palpable after the hellish trip this record takes you through.

Better than Estuary English, and this one gets a distribution deal via Cargo for every high street outlet too - don't fancy their chances of becoming the next Sleaford Mods though - this is a noise album, and it's as difficult and uncommercial as any self-conscious 'extremist' could hope for.

Listening "Teknon" from "Estuary English". Vocals are SO GREAT, it's pity that 'music' sucks!

Pretty nutty track on the so-called music side huh, maybe some kind of secretive conceptual thing was going on there? Beats me. Nothing like that on the new one.

Favourite from Dollhouse Songs right now is the unbelievably great and fantastic 'Condition Of A Hole'.

I'm excited for the new album, I've been playing Repetition Reinforcement on repeat the last couple weeks, along with that split with Sleaford Mods

Taking things out of their intended context for my own banal amusement is for me (after viewing pornography) the greatest joy of laptop ownership. Air Lock has turned out to be my most oft-visitted piece from Estuary English.

I like to loop it up in Ableton w/ a host of lowest common denominator phat house beats, Detroit chords and crisp percussion to give what I think is the definition of 2015 Consumer Electronics.  Grotesque - yet at the same time, oddly alluring - which wouldn't be too out of place in many a Western European hipster club.


Repetition Reinforcement is superb, especially Murder The Masters; though I do find myself reaching for the tabletop to support myself after the first four minutes or so (I must be getting soft: 7 & 1/2 minute dressing downs get harder by the day).

I predict CE will play Berghain before too long.
