Electric President is an indie electronic pop band from Florida, USA. The group's main members are Ben Cooper and Alex Kane. This track is taken from their self-titled album released by Morr Music in 2006. The track's keyboards, pianos and whooshing electronic beats sound much larger and fuller than the bedroom recording studio they were made in. The lush electronic gurgles and crisply thumping rhythm are set against Ben Cooper's hushed vocals, creating a sound which is reminiscent of The Postal Service. The call-and-response voices used in the middle section also recall the pop sensibilities of Junior Senior. Lyrically the track describes the personal alienation brought about by modern technology and lines like 'nature's haircut is concrete now, we played our part' remind me of the environmental themes of Grandaddy's album The Sophtware Slump. This track is best experienced through headphones while curled up on a sofa, gazing out the window at a busy city street.
