Free Music Review: Hot Electronic Rock from Sweden
Hit: 5 Stars
Alice In Videoland are one of my favorite musical discoveries in recent years and 'Outrageous', their second album, is the reason why.
Incredibly catchy, riff-heavy, guitar-driven, electronic pop rock. There's no way I couldn't like it. Their first album ('Maiden Voyage') was a solid entry with several great tracks, but they really came into their own with this album.
Whereas 'Maiden Voyage' showed a band with great talent sorting out what their sound was going to be, 'Outrageous' displays a tour-toughened band confident in their direction and fully exploiting their uniqueness. They dive headlong into a more "industrial" sound on 'Outrageous'.
Their lead singer (Toril Lindqvist) has a distinct voice (sometimes compared to Dale Bozzio/Missing Persons) and a real knack for grrrll-power lyrical turns. I was surprised to find out that she had only recently begun singing after a long stint as a guitarist, as she has solid voice with a unique approach.
The other members of the band (Anders Alexander -Drums, Johan Dahlbom -Bass, Dominique/Carl Lundgren -Synths) all bring solid musicianship to the fold. The band have a very solid dance groove, using a lot of deep arpeggiated synths straight from the current electro-house club scene. The unique thing about AiV however is how successfully they fuse that synthetic sound with organic guitar crunch and heavy live drums from the alternative-rock scene to define their own sound.
There's really no "duds" on this album, but particular stand-out tracks would include: 'Radiosong', 'Cut The Crap', 'Emily', and 'Ladykiller'.
Clever songwriting, great production, and a distinct sound. AiV has it all. [...]
Outrageous Poster
Alice In Videoland's second album shows their incredible talent and flair for fun, energetic songs! With a unique combination of styles all their own, they mix electro, 80's rock, dance and pop with a style and vocals that call to Cyndi Lauper, Joan Jett and Gwen Stefani! Proudly released on Storming Records.Alternative Rock Music CDs
