Under Electric Light – After The Blue
Under Electric Light is a one-man project under the direction of Montreal musician Dan Provencher. Dan mixes in electronic elements into his music and has influences of New Order, Death Cab for Cutie and the Shout Out Louds to name a few.
There is however one outlining difference to these pop bands. Under Electric Light’s music is more soothing and doesn’t try to get grab your attention it just seeps into your brain and comfortably latches on. With Dan’s very soft/deep voice Under Electric Light gives off a different vibe and ultimately the type that I found surprising. I feel like it has more of an ambient-pop affect, whatever that means.
When I first looked at Dan’s influence, I thought I was going to get something very poppy, perhaps over the top yet depressing (or emo), however Under Electric Light pulls off being quiet and captivating. Maybe it was under the right circumstances but I feel lucky to have given his music the time of day. (I was hung over on Sunday and this happened to be the perfect music to just close my eyes to)
Under Electric Light has an EP called After The Blue out which features four tracks and can be bought here. My favorite track is “Summer’s Feeling Cold”. It’s just 4 tracks but think about checking it out and supporting Under Electric Light so they can be signed/make a full release.
