Manhattan-based drone-rock duo comprised of vocalist/guitarist Lawrence Chandler, a former protege of minimalist composer LaMonte Young, and vocalist/bassist Martha Schwendener. Originally a three-piece rounded out by a series of drummers, Bowery Electric bowed in 1994 with a double seven-inch on their self-owned Hi-Fidelity Recordings which helped land them on the indie label Kranky, which issued their self-titled debut LP in 1995. With 1996's Beat, the duo's swirling, chaotic sound began to incorporate elements of the electronica movement; a subsequent series of 12-inch remixes by the likes of Disjecta, CHASM and Immersion further solidified their new affilation with electronic music, as did 1997's remix collection Vertigo. The long-awaited Lushlife finally appeared in early 2000.

Many thanks for the add. Have long admired your work since first hearing on the late John Peel's shows over here in the UK. I still play the cd's frequently. Best wishes.
Hey! Thanks for the add(finally)he he he... so any new sounds on the horizion sometime soon!!??!! Cant say how much i looking forward to hear a new "bowery" record.
Does anyone know where i can get old of the first ever Bowery Electric record, it may have been released on Hi-fidelity Records, i'm after a trck going by the name of "Let Me Down" ((well, thats what it sounds like is being sung...I need this track!!!!!
More than ten years ago i discovered your hypnotic minimalistic sounds on the kranky label which became real classics to me. Since then many weird moments, really good times and even hours of playing along my electric guitars over night have been joined and inspired by the album "Bowery Electric"...Thank you, drift on!
