Sweet Electra is a well established electronic indie pop band in Mexico who've recently moved to NYC after being well received here on several earlier visits. It's interesting that the logo on their new release When We Abandoned Earth is "Se" because their music brings to mind Si*Se, another electronica pop rock band fronted by a beautiful charismatic Latina woman with a good voice.

At the heart of Sweet Electra is Giovanni Escalera on guitar and programming and Nardiz Cooke on vocals. Their new material is laid back "other worldly" danceable pop rock with barely a hint of their Latin roots. They were backed by bass, drums and violin for this short set which was very enjoyable except that the vocals were way too deep in the mix. Nardiz has a good voice which in my opinion needs to be out front for the best effect.
