Lulu Eric Daum © 2023 Silent on the silver screen Impassively you play the scene So serene Pandora’s Box is opened wide Will we ever see inside The heart you hide Lulu Louise Lulu Louise Dance away to Berlin Run from the places you have been City of sin Another lover tossed from your bed Have your appetites been fed Or the boring things he said Lulu Louise Lulu Louise You disappeared from our view All the lies they told of you None of them were true The heartland girl who ran away The hardest role you’ve had to play You’’ll never be passé Oblivion awaits the bold I can’t imagine you’d grow old Once your myth’s been sold

Strange Fascination © Carole Young, Eric Daum & Robert A. Kingdon 2023 It’s a strange fascination That lifts me up, Yeah, it lifts me up And it brings me down, Fascination, Brings me down All these colors, I must see them It’s my fascination, my strange fascination Colors in my head Colors inside my head fascinate in side my head Close my eyes, and I dream Colors dancing, like you’re dancing The colors dazzle, while you’re dancing It’s my strange fascination, It’s a strange fascination That lifts me up yeah it lifts me up and it brings me down Fascination brings me down In this quiet place, where you fascinate A fine and private place, where you fascinate In this silent green and fragrant space I close my eyes, and I dream It’s a strange fascination It’s a strange fascination

True Love © Electric Angels Music 2024 Mary said she’d never leave Said she was waiting for a ring Then she met a guy named Steve She was gone before the Spring Sandy was busking in the street Well Hippy Chicks were not my thing Ratty sandals dirty feet But I loved the way she’d sing Looking for True Love Looking for True love everywhere Katy eyes of midnight blue Sophisticated sense of style And If she left me any clues Man, missed them by a mile Rosie, best friends with my girl Always fun to be around I could be the center her world It really hurt to turn her down Looking for True Love Looking for True love everywhere Will I ever find someone to love Will I ever find someone Could it be that you’re the One Sally had a gentle way Quiet with a wistful smile I thought I’d want to stay Just to be with her for awhile Lizzy was a superstar She was always on the make Convinced that she was going far But she’s still waiting for a break Looking for True Love Looking for True love everywhere

about

The latest collection of songs by our TransAtlantic duo, Bob and Eric, compiling 11 songs written during 2022 and 2023, showcases the boy's affinity for Psychedelic, Art Rock, Kraut Rock and Synth Pop as well as nodding to their usual influences of Glam, Power Pop and Punk.

The Electric Angels veer back to their artier side, opening with the Classically-inspired "Für AD", a brief chamber piece which leads into Bob's Psychedlic Beautiful Skies. Lulu is a Kraut Rock influenced ode to Silent Screen legend Louise Brooks. Strange Fascination is sequencer driven disco based upon a poem by long-time collaborator, Carole Young propelled by savage lead guitar from Tracy Stearns. I Will Rise and Ashes and Dust weave Synth Pop and Prog while Beauty is a Jazz-inflected meander contemplating power and submission. Eternity, the earliest song in the collection, is a nod to Glam with Argent-like organ laying the sonic foundation.
