ALASKALASKA refuse to be categorised on eclectic new single "Meateater"
The six piece London collective return with a song that's going to make you grab your dancing shoes.
Having released their debut EP last year, "Meateater" sees ALASKALASKA whip up something akin to a disco storm. Borne out of frustration, "Meateater" opens as an angular disco pop gem that quickly evolves into an all-encompassing groove that is embellished with a silky saxophone and clear anthemic chorus.
Lead singer Lucinda John-Duarte's vocals are hypnotic, but accusatory and biting, as she mocks "Put me in this box / Like you always do / Lock it up" refusing to be categorised in any form. This is further exacerbated by the way the song elegantly balances indie influences with '80s synths, avoiding any straight compartmentalisation.
“I was thinking about how frustrating it is to be categorised or stereotyped," She explains, "We’re always in competition with each other or ourselves, trying to sell ourselves like meat and hiding parts of our being in the process.”
The release comes in anticipation of their upcoming shows supporting Porches at Village Underground and also Nilüfer Yanya on a UK tour. It's a very exciting time for this London lot.
