Outline

Alaskalaska is a six piece band from London led by guitarist singer Lucinda Duarte-Holman and bassist Fraser Rieley. They play a distinct combination of electronic music that stays just this side of synth pop and imaginative, measured pop that is occasionally topped with jazz flavored bits. There is a subtle and understated experimental side to their music that does not jump at the audience overtly but remains close to the surface. Their first album, 2019's The Dots had a cool, laid back post-punk angle as well. The jazz component was also much stronger earlier on. Duarte-Holman sings with a misty voice and in a way that her interactions with the electronics and her phrasing may bring Amelia Meath (of Sylvan Esso) to mind. Their production is quite clean, with a lot of clarity as to where the band is going with some of these ideas.
