It's hard to believe that only a few months ago, Princeton was pretty much a non-entity. Sure they had released their debut album Cocoon of Love back in 2009 but has pretty much maintained a strange sort of radio silence since then. Now all of a sudden they're announcing shows and tours left and right, just released "To The Alps" and "The Electrican" together as a 7" single for Record Store Day last month, and now they're allowing all those that didn't get their hands on it a chance to listen to it. "To The Alps" already received the radio treatment earlier this year so this time out, it's "The Electrician" with it's haunting minimalism and creepy hazy vocals over driving beats and screeching guitar licks. The video is a sort of Action/Thriller featuring Active Child as the bloodied nameless criminal who randomly encounter with the police sets off all the action of the video. With little to no warning, the police give chase and the music goes from floaty scary movie music to something way more intense. Random shots of a ballerina are thrown in for good measure and when it's all over, you're left wondering about exactly what you just witnessed. Enjoy the video for "The Electrician":
