Best Boy Electric's minimalist approach of gentle, melancholy indie was the collaborative result of Ben Bilow (keyboards), George Agpoon (bass), Nathan Meltz (drums) and former Low bassist John Nichols (guitar). Eventually capturing the critical comparisons of Codeine, American Analog Set and Bedhead, the Madison, Wisconsin natives debuted with their first album Songs of Latitude and Longitude in 1999 through Grand Theft Autum Records.

Best Boy Electric is cut from the same soft-/slow-core cloth as such mid-to-late-'90s luminaries as Bedhead and Low. Indeed, if it helps, the band features former Low bassist John Nichols (now on guitar), and current Low member Alan Sparhawk recorded all but the ninth and final track on Songs of Latitude and Longitude. - Popmatters Read more on Last.fm.
