Electric Litany

How easily can people maintain childhood as they grow up and how feasible is it for a grown-up child to win the war of adults?

Can a new band rehearse and record a whole album with zero money and only ammunition their friendship and love for music?

They are Electric Litany and their album title,

“How To Be A Child And Win The War” (borrowed from an Ian Hawgood track), summarizes in a unique way all the “innocent” arsenal of a debut that comes as a positive answer to all the above, while giving lessons of modern romanticism.


Their story could be a script of a Jean-Pierre Jeunet film.

Alexandros Miaris (voice, guitars, piano, synths) moves to London from the greek island of Kekryra. His future houses are all old, abandoned, derelict public buildings that carry their own history. A school, a library, then a town hall and a church. In these places a brand new band, formed in the spring of 2007, will take its first steps. Richard Simic (drums) comes to London from a farming village in sleepy Devon in order to look for a band.
