Where this album fits
- Career context
- Still Electric is the third studio album by Primitive Radio Gods, released in 2003 following their breakthrough hit 'Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand' from 1996. At this point in their career, the band was shifting from the mainstream recognition they garnered in the late '90s to a more subdued, experimental approach. This album reflects a maturation in their sound, as they sought to redefine their artistic identity after years of relative quiet.
