Salaryman

Bio:

After a six-year silence, Salaryman re-emerges from the Silicon Prairie with their third full-length release: The Electric Forest, a ten song set of electronic instrumentals that bounce from the ambient to the aggressive and back again. The alter-ego of Champaign, Illinois stalwarts Poster Children, Salaryman owe as much to Joe Meek and Booker T. and the MGs as they do to Brian Eno and Kraftwerk, embracing technology while at the same time being unafraid to rock and never taking themselves too seriously. The Electric Forest is the perfect soundtrack for a midnight drive down a deserted highway or, in these days of skyrocketing fuel prices, the ideal background music for an evening spent at home watching the next-door neighbors' big screen TV through your living room window.
