Dance Party in The Balkans
Got wind of an electronic outfit, Alaska in Winter, and took a listen to their debut album Dance Party in the Balkans. The title is a little bit confusing, because this could only count as a “dance party” if you were above the Arctic circle with a bunch of depressed Scandinavian teenagers who were too trigger-happy with the reverb pedal. In other words, this album is what you’d get if Trentemoller and Death Cab for Cutie had a love child and he was put on painkillers and given a turntable. You’d expect nothing short of total beauty. Zach Condon, a.k.a. Beirut, provides some haunting vocals.
