The Polish duo Alles returned last year with their second album.

“Now” features eight tracks that blend various influences while maintaining a compact and well-defined sound. At its core, it is an Electro composition that sits somewhere between Cold-Wave and Wave-Pop, with the Polish vocals as its most distinctive characteristic. At times, it leans slightly toward the sound of The Neon Judgement, yet it remains a deeply personal and unique approach that I can only applaud. The songs occasionally take on a dreamy quality, yet they also invite movement and dance.

If you haven’t discovered Alles yet, “Now” is an excellent introduction to their music. (Rating:7½).

Inferno Sound Diaries

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
