In 2021, Cleopatra Records issued an album of covers by Electric Six called Streets of Gold.[48] The band spent most of 2022 and 2023 touring North America and Europe. In 2023, the band released Torquoise,[49] Tourquoise was their first album of new material since 2018's Bride of the Devil. Work on the album initially began in January 2020, but was interrupted by the Covid pandemic. Though Turquoise was completed in 2022, its release was held for a year to coincide with a U.S. tour. Electric Six collaborated with Canadian synth-funk band TWRP on their single "VHS" in August 2023, with Valentine providing lead vocals. The band completed a "Fire 20th Anniversary" tour of the United Kingdom in late 2023, followed by a "Greatest Hits" tour of Australia in mid 2024.[50] The band intend to release a greatest hits record in 2025. With some songs of new material. Sound, style, and influences[edit] Electric Six incorporates a variety of styles, resulting in being termed a "genre-blurring" band.[51] The group's sound has been described as a synthesis of "disco, synth pop, glam, and arena rock",[52] including the falsetto vocals of disco, laden with "rampant solos, be they guitar riffs, synth wails, or strutting drums" that enforce the band's "energetic sound".[53] However, the band members themselves have rejected such genre classifications as "disco-metal" and "disco-punk".[54][clarification needed] Critics have termed their lyrics "disaffected, angry, ironic, and lustful",[55] expressing "macho flippancy" and "tongue-in-cheek pomposity".[56] Dick Valentine has estimated that "90% of [their] songs, maybe even higher" are "about absolutely nothing".[57] Songs by Electric Six are often concerned with subjects such as sex, dancing, masculinity, hypersexuality, fast food, and fire; the band's official biography states that their debut album Fire was so named because they "noticed an abundance of the word fire on this record and decided to go with it".[3] Commenting on their usual lyrical material while promoting the band's album Switzerland, frontman Dick Valentine said, "For the first time, none of the songs have the word 'dance' or variation of 'dance' in the title. But fear not. We have songs with 'drugs' and 'girls' and 'tonight' and 'night' and 'louder' and 'party' in the title, so we haven't given up on our philosophy just yet."[58] Valentine cited Freddie Mercury, Talking Heads, Falco, Devo,[59] and Captain Beefheart as his musical influences, as well as Black Sabbath, Queen, and KISS for the rest of the group.
