History the path of least resistance

Deep in the “live or die” territory of darkest Brooklyn,

and beneath the audible tones of an electronic

minaret, lurks the “Call to Prayer” studio, the creative

hideaway of The Path of Least Resistance. The band

consists of two members: Mick O’Connor, a London

native transplanted in Brooklyn, covers synthesizers

and vocals; and Tara Striano, a native New Yorker,

takes vocals.

Influenced by the likes of early 80's british synth legends the passage, caberet voltaire, early human league, D.A.F. and fad gadget and the current cool electronica of ladytron, the golden filter and others tpolr sound like yesterday today.

There was a time, about 30 years ago, when the Path of Least Resistance sound would have been called the future. In 2009 their raw, sparse electronics, glacial synths and dark subject matter are like telegrams from the industrial outskirts of the British punk scene of the late 70s, or, more precisely, Sheffield.

With a name taken from an early Human League track (I'm assuming that's where they got their name as the coincidence is too great) it doesn't come as a great surprise that the 3 tracks on their myspace site are part homage, part re-boot to the League.

You know I hate to ask but are friends electric? Oh yes they are.
