Mama (Still) Never Went Electric

A while back (almost a year now, holy crap), I posted about the demo for the song "Mama Never Went Electric", by acclaimed sci-fi novelist and Half-Life writer turned indie musician Marc Laidlaw. Well, that demo has since been taken down, but its place has been taken by the version from Laidlaw's newly-released album After the Pulse, and it is equally delightful. Swapping out the "sparse bass-and-drums beat" for crunchy synths and percussion with just the right hint of guitar, it's well worth a listen. The lyrics remain the highlight for me, and their new musical backing has only improved them.
