SXSW 2023: ALASKALASKA

The British Music Embassy just announced their band showcases for the week.  I'll focus on the day parties we can attend.  First up is Wednesday.

This is a band from South London that has a cult following due to their rambunctious live shows according to this article.  In it they describe their music as art-pop.  The SXSW bio says: "It’s the methods of Björk, Fever Ray, LCD Soundsystem and Arthur Russell."   "Still Life" definitely has an LCD Soundsystem feel.  It also reminds me of the Eurythmics.

"TV Dinners" is a nice mellow tune.  They seem like a cool band. 

This was my favorite.  Reminds me of Madonna's "Ray of Light" era (especially "Swim") with the William Orbit synth sounds in the background.
