    Alpers has a knack like few others for spinning our over-interconnected loneliness into something more like a blissful collective daydream.

    Never less than dreamy, My Electric Family is endlessly inventive and rewarding.

    Although Alpers has found a winning sound, she's still scrambling to gather her notes and draft a theme she can deliver with conviction.

    There's no doubting her sonic ambitions, the glowing multitracked vocals and eclectic instrumentation here resembling a kind of lo-fi, one-woman version of Animal Collective. [Jun 2009, p.117]

    Alpers is smart, you can tell immediately, yet the album feels carefully scrubbed of identifying marks, swinging between Flaming Lips-size pomp and Laurie Anderson-style catatonia.

    So swathed in electronic trickery, space-age swoops and super-produced vocals is My Electric Family, though, that it ends up a little soulless; individually the tracks have a removed piquancy, but an hour's solid exposure leaves you yearning for a crackle, some fuzz, or any human intervention.
