Apart
from a single Spanish lyric, no clue is given on When We Abandoned Earth that Sweet Electra originated in Mexico.
Now living in New York,
the duo of Nariz Cooke and Giovanni Escalera could have come from anywhere in
the world. Sweet Electra is an electro-pop group spinning dreamy electronica
over a restrained undercurrent of rock guitar and snappy dance floor programmed
beats. The bracing pop refrains are carried on Cooke’s yearning if narrowly
expressive voice. Sweet Electra’s crystalline sheen make them the perfect chill
down after a sweaty night of clubbing.
