Herve Salters, the man behind General Elektriks, is known for his keyboard prowess. This is apparent on General Elektriks' 2005 debut, Cliquety Kliqk, and even more so on Good City For Dreamers, where it sounds like Salters has split himself into a five-piece electro-indie pop outfit. Dreamers plinks along pleasantly, Salters' voice soothing and unobtrusive, paying homage to various influences (Sly Stone, Eurythmics). "Cottons of Inertia" is deliciously comforting with its temperate rhythms, and just when you start drifting off, "You Don't Listen" brings you back with squalling guitars. For the most part, Dreamers is a quirky take on The Beatles' white album.General Elektriks - Take Back The Instant
