“Statutes” is a song that begs to be seen performed in a live setting. Live music will return!!! Won’t it? Listening to the song from India Electric Co, we take some semi-educated guesses as to the performance. First, a violin is taken from its cradle. But the bow is left alone, since the violin is plucked. The pizzicato violin is recorded and then looped. It plays on, but never loses its attractiveness because “Statutes” includes appealing vocals and numerous nuances. The percussion enters and exists without notice. The guitar is skillfully cooperative with the violin plucking.
Cole Stacey and Joseph O'Keefe are musical artists, not merely persons who sing or play musical instruments. They are the modern-day equivalents of Walter Becker and Daniel Fagan. That is, India Electric Co. is the 2020 Steely Dan. Vocalist Cole Stacey and multi-instrumentalist Joseph O’Keefe are preparing to release their sophomore album “The Gap.” The album will be released on May 1, but the promotional tour was pushed back until September/October.
