"I think that Alan Greenspan is the father of electroclash," Svenonius says wryly, and with a chuckle. "He's the guy controlling interest rates and the real estate boom ... . It's no longer affordable to rent a house or a basement or a garage. So if you think about the terminology of groups, basement group, garage band, basement show, even a group just practicing somewhere--these are predicated on property. So the whole thing of these psych-folk bands, the so-called folk movement that's going on now, it's very singular, and so is electroclash, which is just somebody in their bedroom."
