Songbook Xtended: Spalarkle



Felicita feat. Caroline Polachek - Spalarkle (Alys) (2023) [Original Post]

Recent tastes converge in an abrasive electroclash featuring Caroline Polachek buried somewhere within the warblings of Ladytron's worst harlequinned nightmare. God help anyone named Alice listening to this song. Don't get me wrong. I like it. I'm just seeing it from somebody else's perspective. The ineffectual nagging chant of "Alys" is bound to drive somebody clinically insane. Not me, though. The dissonant hyperpop is just keeping on the rails enough for me to call this a good time. They tell me its a new thing, but it really feels like a throwback.
