Reflections on Bowery Electric’s ‘Beat’

Reflections on Bowery Electric’s ‘Beat’

You think you know everything when you’re 18. But, that summer, Bowery Electric put me in my corner.I was put on to the duo’s sophomore album, “Beat,” a month before leaving for college. I was familiar with the terms “post-rock” and “shoegaze,” even “trip-hop,” but Bowery Electric had a sound that was all three at once, but also none of them at all. This kind of genre-bending was completely novel to me, and I was instantly hooked.
