"Beat" is the second studio album by Bowery Electric, released on CD format by Kranky / Cargo. This seminal record, originally issued in 1996, showcases the band's signature blend of shoegaze textures and downtempo electronic rhythms. With immersive soundscapes and hypnotic beats, "Beat" stands as a landmark release that bridges ambient electronica with dream pop sensibilities. The album features standout tracks such as "Postscript," "Fear of Flying," and "Empty Words," each enveloping listeners in lush layers of guitar effects and ethereal vocals. Bowery Electric is an American duo formed by Lawrence Chandler and Martha Schwendener in New York City during the early 1990s. Known for their innovative approach to blending genres like drone, ambient, trip-hop, and shoegaze, they have earned critical acclaim for pushing musical boundaries. Their debut self-titled album set the stage for their unique style; however, it was with "Beat" that they solidified their reputation within underground music circles. Kranky is a renowned independent label based in Chicago that has been instrumental in promoting experimental music since its founding in 1993. With a roster featuring influential artists such as Stars of the Lid and Tim Hecker alongside Bowery Electric, Kranky has become synonymous with high-quality releases across ambient, post-rock, and avant-garde genres.
