A three-piece from Melbourne, Australia consisting of Michael Beach (guitars and vocals), Adam Camilleri (bass and percussion) and Peter Warden (drums, loops and electronics), Electric Jellyfish tells stories of existential dread with a bluesy swagger. Their songs can be sparse, driving, heavy, and wild, with an emotional energy that hangs ponderously and precariously in the balance between calm and terror.  Imagine The Jesus Lizard with Crazy Horse playing soundtracks for the darker works for Cormac McCarthy through bleeding amps—a grunged-out blend Gothic folk and blues.

They’re also not afraid to experiment and produce some of their most compelling work when they do. Whether it’s a well-placed splash of acid-fried guitar noise on one of their sonic canvases, or giving the avant-rock treatment to extended improvisational sound collages reminiscent of CAN or Sunburned Hand of the Man, Electric Jellyfish shift with ease between being rockers who know how to experiment and experimenters who know how to rock.

Electric Jellyfish has toured both Australia and the US extensively since 2007, appearing on stage with Black Helicopter, Monotract, Psychedelic Horseshit and many more. Their 2008 EP The Woods was pressed to cassette by the Thurston Moore/Byron Coley collaborative label Ecstatic Yod. 2010 finds the band embarking on their third US tour in support of a new self-titled EP, their first release on Twin Lakes.
