Hailing from Butte in Montana, Desperate Electric is a celebrated indie music duo, featuring the talents of guitarist, keyboard player and vocalist Ben Morris, alongside bassist and vocalist Kayti Korte. Together, they concoct a sonic cocktail that stitches the charm of disco and retro rock n’ roll with a cutting-edge, forward-thinking indie pop style, resulting in a sound that’s at once dramatic and dazzling.
Rooted in themes of life’s trials and triumphs, the journey of growth and the complexities of relationships, Desperate Electric threads their relatable lyricism with a blend of vulnerability and defiance, set against a backdrop of energising music. Hailed for their exciting live performances, they’ve earned critical acclaim for their ability to entertain audiences across the USA with their incredible shows.
Having made their studio debut in 2019 with their eponymous EP, Desperate Electric has since gone from strength to strength in the music scene with a string of stellar releases, including two full-length albums, each showcasing their epic sonic vision. This year they’ve already shared two new singles and bring us their latest effort with the brand new track titled “Prove Me Wrong.”
Brought in by a filtered beat as warm sax tones dance in the distance, an immediate disco vibe takes hold before the song settles into a grooving pop-focused sound as smooth vocal leads glide in. Ben’s rich voice carries sumptuous melodic leads above the funky arrangement to craft an upbeat and infectiously catchy sound, lifted by moments of subtle processed layers before Kayti’s voice ushers in shifting beats and fluttering sax tones.
Leading the chorus, her vocal performance soars above the snap of the beat and pulse of the bass lines, casting an energising sound that flows with compelling rhythm and stunning sax leads. Rising with shuffling hi hats and soulful vocalisations, the pair serve up a memorable and exhilarating finale to close this truly sensational new jam.
Packed full of exquisite musicianship, slick songwriting and danceable rhythm “Prove Me Wrong” sees Desperate Electric continue to operate at the very highest level and do what they do best; lay down original pop music that sticks with you long after you hear it. Desperate Electric bring a sound that’s impossible not to love and we can’t wait to see what they’ve got in store for the rest of 2024 and beyond.
