Lovers Electric
Lovers Electric are an Australian husband-and-wife pop music duo formed in Adelaide in 2005 by Eden Boucher on lead vocals, toy piano, stylophone and casio synthesiser; and David Turley on guitar, bass guitar, keyboards and vocals.
Lovers Electric members Eden Boucher and David Turley both grew up in Adelaide. At 17 they met when Turley was holidaying in the United Kingdom where Boucher was then working. They married two years later and established Lovers Electric in 2005 in Adelaide, the band name is "an ode to their natural chemistry on and off the stage." For most of their career they have been based in Europe, initially in the UK and then in Berlin.
On 4 December 2006 they recorded an electronic, rock album, The Bedroom Demos, using their mobile home studio, while staying in London and in the North of England. For the album Fuzz Townshend supplied drums with Sharon Turley, David's sister, guested on cello for a track and Zanna Evans appeared on harp for another track. MTV used a number of their songs, including "Closer", which was chosen as the theme song in the TV series, The Hills.
At the beginning of 2007, they toured in the United States, playing residencies in New York, Los Angeles and Nashville. A local Nashville website wrote, "Lovers Electric deliver 80s influenced alternative dance pop."
After touring the United States, they toured Europe from May–July 2007 as support for re-formed 1980s band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) playing to sold-out venues.
Within a week of this tour finishing, they began recording in Sheffield in the United Kingdom, with producer Eliot Kennedy and finished their debut album "Whatever You Want". They signed with Sony Australia in 2008 and released the album that August. They enjoyed top 10 club chart success with remixes from Sam La More & Luke Chable. Much touring followed, as well as a special appearance on Rove, the popular Australian talk show, in what proved to be a great success for the band.
The band returned to the UK and retreated to the English countryside to record their second album at the 400-year-old Tudor barn studio 'Ridge Farm Studios' just south of London, with producer David Tickle. Together again with Townshend and adding a couple of other musical friends in the mix (Mike Rowe and James Bryan), they recorded the history inspired album 'Impossible Dreams'.
The band currently reside in Berlin, where they released 'Impossible Dreams' with Universal in August 2011. Following on from the success of Whatever You Want, Lovers Electric returned with their second album, 'Impossible Dreams', released in October 2011. Recently released in Germany, the album entered the iTunes Top 10 within 24 hours.
