New Music: Bridges and Powerlines: "Uncalibrated" [MP3/Stream]

Bridges. Powerlines. Calibration. Sounds like this band from Brooklyn may consist of engineering nerds, but the words on this track from their debut album Ghost Types sound like they might be into something more along the line of metaphysics: "I could make it cold inside just by being here," goes one line. Now that's power. The press kit mentions that Bridges and Powerlines are into Elephant 6 but I can't help thinking Elephant Shell, as the chord textures are all steel-wool shimmering and fuzzy, not unlike those favored by Tokyo Police Club. Chris Zane, who helped produce Les Savy Fav's Let's Stay Friends, was behind the boards for this, so we have him to thank for the bright sound.
