Sad News From Distant Shores
A nation mourns. Well, three young men who should have known better in the first place, anyway...
We have decided that the upcoming gigs will be our last for the foreseeable future. After ten years of much fun and hard work, we have realised that we all need a break and time to do other things. This was a tough decision for us to make, but ultimately a positive one.
A big thank you to everyone who has come to our shows, put on our shows, and bought our records over the years. It means a lot to us. We're really grateful to have had the opportunity to play gigs all over the world and to meet so many lovely people. This last year has been especially enjoyable and we feel happy about moving on with all these good memories to look back on. At the moment we haven’t made any band plans for the future, but we’re going to have a break and see what happens.
Love, Electrelane

It's very sad news. They're a great band. "No Shouts, No Calls" was one of the best albums released in 2007.
Electrelane are one of my favourite bands ever for various reasons, so sad news indeed. I've spent this evening trying to think of a better album from this year than No Shouts No Calls, and I'm struggling - In Rainbows maybe, but apart from that..?
Let us not forget that Verity is making music under the nom de plume of Vera November, and from what I've heard so far, there is potentially much to look forward to.
