Electrician, Dark Folk Pop from Oakland

Although classically trained in opera performance, Electrician's Neil Campau has spent most of the last decade dedicated to the independent lo-fi music scene playing music as World History and maintaining DoDIY.org, a resource for touring artists. Since 2011, Electrician has been releasing singles for free online, and has recently released a new full-length album. Campau explains his songs as "shadowy" and "intimate" and being about "death and destruction and friendship." Sleeping Bag Studios, a Canadian recording studio, explained that intimacy well when they said "the music of Electrician represents the tiniest and most fragile parts of ourselves - the parts we tend to push past and ignore in favor of our dominant traits." Campau is joined on stage by his partner and keyboardist Ellen Avis and occasionally by their three month old son. More info at http://www.punksandcriminals.com/electrician/
