Stumbled across this album, Bandcamp is a great browsing place. Beats Antique is an electro-acoustic, experimental , dance band from Oakland, CA. Gotta love your local groups.
You have to remember their earlier album, Blind Threshold.
What struck me again on this album was the variety of their sound, and that great gypsy presence is still there.
Check out the album, Elektrafone, I'm sure you will find a place for it in your collection.
