Electric President could be the lovechild of Postal Service and Page France for the gratey, growly vocals backed by the hyped up electro/guitar pop that dominates the music. The video for “Monsters” finds Electric President following their self-titled release with a similarly eerie electro-pop sound.

Like Electric President, their recent Sleep Well is filled with lovable yet dark pop and “Monsters” follows suit. The video portrays Electric President in their element: Ben Cooper’s shed in which they record. Here Electric President tosses in pop traits like hand claps and tambourines amidst the darker side they enjoy so much—spacey guitars and emotive piano parts.

The result is both dark and a little eerie. But it’s also fun.
