Music by Bergman: ALASKALASKA

ALASKALASKA are an art-pop 6-piece from London. They make beautiful, groove-laden music that seamlessly blends jazz, disco, funk and R&B into a bold and playful sound uniquely their own; synthetic beats play alongside live drums, delayed guitars and shimmering saxophones to create something musically rich and delightfully intricate.

Band leader and principle vocalist Lucinda twists brooding and introspective lyrics – akin to the words of Arthur Russell – into infectious melodies reminiscent of Warpaint, Dirty Projectors or Talk Talk, which demand repeat listens and could as easily soundtrack a wistful evening alone as they could a party.  They ‘ve just shared a new song: ‘Meateater.’

Best Covers: Placebo“Life’s What You Make It”

A cover by Placebo of the 1985 single “Life’s What You Make It” by Talk Talk. It’s the title track of Placebo’s 2016 EP. The cover version features the harmonising parts “everyone’s all right” and “everything’s all right” more prominently, but stays true to the lyrics of the original. They will be playing at Razzmatazz April the 27th
