Their music has been described as “swirling art-jazz” (NME), “gorgeous” (DIY), and “instantly hypnotic” (FADER). Following early support from Beats 1, they’ve already received 10 Radio 1 plays, winning over the national stations specialist team of Annie Mac, Huw Stephens (“so, so good”), and Phil Taggart (“I really, really like this”).
Today they release their new single “Patience”. A song inspired by the more pop-leaning side of the Tsonga (or Shangaan) disco movement with a climatic intertwining sax driven finale. It has become a highlight of their live performances and serves as another taste of their brilliant self-titled debut EP – the perfect introduction to their unique brand of off-kilter pop.
ALASKALASKA (EP) is out on September 29th via Marathon Artists’ imprint House Anxiety (the label that introduced the world to King Krule and Courtney Barnett). Limited ticket and 12″ EP bundles are available exclusively from Dice now. Pre-order the EP here. They’re also heading out on a full UK / EU tour supporting Alvvays starting tonight until September 18th.
