In the fall of 1994, very impressed by the debut single set, kranky got in touch with the band. The debut, self-titled album was recorded with Mike Deming at Studio .45 in Hartford, CT in January 1995. Bowery Electric was released on compact disc and vinyl in mid-1995. As The Wire described it, Bowery Electric “weave chilled downbeat dirges via hazy sheets of distorted guitar (that sound as though they were recorded underwater), stumbling sluggish percussion and benumbed male/female vocals… the album works as a sustained moodpiece…”. Or, as Chris Wodskou put it in the Sept. 1995 issue of Exclaim!, “Bowery Electric shimmer in the way a 20 foot sheet of metal shimmers and resonates when vibrated. A sharp pop confection with the blunt force of a three-alarm headache.”
Simon Reynolds’ seminal post-Rock article in the November 1995 issue of The Wire placed Bowery Electric in the forefront of “a distinctively American post-rock.” The band returned to Studio .45 to work on the second full length release with engineer Rich Costley.
