Is Miami Horror's new album, All Possible Futures, part of the electronic genre?

Is Miami Horror's new album, All Possible Futures, part of the electronic genre?We've listened to the album a couple of times. Words like eclectic, or mix of influences, don't really put the finger on the genre that Ben, Josh, Aaron and Daniel are singing in. The substance of the whole album is waxy, it slips through your fingers, it's fluid and deeply melodic in the same time. We can only think of one term to define these specific types of songs: baroque. Modern baroque, why not? There's no tonic, the song doesn't follow a fix pattern, it doesn't return to a musical motif, like progressive music does, it just shifts from one course to another, without leaving the audience room to properly get familiarized with the notes. The verses go the same direction, as some choruses are similar to others, but most of the time differing in small words that immediately shift the whole idea to another buoy of thought altogether. Horrifyingly pleasant as this all may be, like listening to a late Bach with guitars in the background, we cannot partake with other articles in coining this musical genre electronic music.

On their Facebook page, they've put in "West Coast Dreams" in the Genre description case. What is West Coast Dreams? Click on the video below and see for yourself. This is "Wild Motion (Set It Free)", off Miami Horror's newest album, 'All Possible Futures'. Isn't the name of the album trying to tell us something about the musical genre too? A positive comprehension of post-modern society surfaces. But we're becoming critical. We trust no critical approach is needed when facing such good quality music. Enjoy!
