" When people think of things that count as "electric," they most often will think of wires, machinery, computers and other man-made structures. One thing we don't often rememeber is that electricity occurs naturally, in the sky. Plumerai's "Electrical Mess" is reminiscent of such a storm, all murky and swirling but at the same same illuminated by its own natural light. "Electrical Mess" even starts out like a storm as the bottom heavy guitar sounds off in the distance, continually growing impossibly closer and louder with every report. The ricky-ticky sound of electronic rain starts to pelt the roof of the song as the bassy guitar (and, ostensibly, bass guitar) really take charge of the song, shaping it up into the true electric(al) mess that it becomes once everyone's really hitting. It is on this foundation that vocalist Elizabeth Ezell finds her foothold; illuminating the otherwise dark form of the song with a little vocal light. Ezell provides some contrast to the sound of the track while still sounding like part of the natural environment as the darkness of her vocal tone matches up well with the overall feel of "Electrical Mess" yet does not fade into the rumbling clouds. In much the same way the vocals lead the song yet are undeniably a product of their environment, this is definitely a "feel" song - it shows off the style of the band more than being its own setpiece. "Electrical Mess" is a dark, chaotic world that comes fully realized in the four-minute run of the song. What will Plumerai do with an entire record? (BostonBandCrush)
