NEWLY WOKE & THOUGHT PROVOKED, in harmony with the nature of the whole release, is fresh, melodically simple, optimistic and yet suspended within a murky atmosphere of cataclysm and wonder. The title of the track, however points to a familiar context of confusion amongst cosmopolitan and globalised socio-political contagion. Within that, there is regular respite to be found-NEWLY WOKE & THOUGHT PROVOKED feels light, rural, nearly folk, delivered with clarity of mind and of pace amongst the otherwise smoggy and moody overlying theme of the EP. Brief interludes reminiscent of Scandinavian metal themes, undistorted but purveying doom-opening MILD WEATHER and closing NEWLY WOKE & THOUGHT PROVOKED-contribute to the creation of an atmosphere of eerie dread. Whilst Spy expressed revulsion in the face of creeping surveillance and the increasingly concealed and deceptive nature of power, CHUCKLE embodies the spirit of internal disorientation and realisations, exacerbated by a backdrop of social crises and injustices reaching levels beyond our grasp or comprehension.Įlectronic interventions, eclectic instrumentation and found footage intersperse Alpha Maid's trademark sound.

Alpha Maid observes and reflects on an urban, smoggy, UK surrounding, although appears to drive through it on an open interstate highway in a really wide car.Īlpha Maid's vocals vacillate between sometimes candid, close and unclouded, then drifting towards fragmentary, cutting and pasting in the manner of unstable media or limited bandwidth.
As if desert rock had occurred in mundane and claustrophobic South London rather than the Southern States.
