about this album
Toning down the bleak, dark and claustrophobic atmosphere of their previous two releases, High Watt Electrocutions return in 2010 with "The Bermuda Triangle", a 39 minute instrumental track/ album that turns down the fuzz guitars and menacing presence, while opting for an admittedly more optimistic and serene vibe. But it's not without eventual chaotic waters--this is, after all, the audio equivalent to the fabled area of the same name, where planes, ships and people vanish without a trace in clouds, water and a haze of confusion. Built largely on layers of ringing guitars, acoustic guitars, pianos, synths and shimmering effects, the album doesn't so much hit you over the head with volume as it does density.....a wall of chiming, swooping atmospherics and percussion on a largely drum-less album that clicks instead of pounds away. Song movements fade in and out of each other with ease; the absence of vocals and lyrics challenge the listener to determine what they're hearing in the music, and challenges them as to where proposed song movements start and end.
