Alois: Checkmate
Alois are back with a new album and today deliver the first single, "Checkmate" - a real psych-pop hit.
"After the more electronic 'Azul' project, we wanted to make a record that would capture our live sound as a band. With psychedelic songs, soaring grooves, a bit retro and yet futuristic." explained Martin Schenker, singer and guitarist of Alois
Checkmate? "Our world today works like this: you want to checkmate your opponent before it's the other way around. But why get lost in pointless power plays when you can listen to all the freshness and joviality of Alois while cuddling while dancing?"
Alois' third album due for release in April 2023, "Night Vision", combines trippy jams and pop precision, live demands and studio seriousness, technical mastery and youthful playfulness. A work that sounds like Mediterranean nostalgia, inspired solitude and dancing hot nights. Genres and labels like Balearic Groove or Psychedelic Dance-Pop can only approach one of the most refreshing Swiss bands. With "Night Vision", Alois has left the usual genre categories behind. Their third album offers danceable and crisp music, timeless but resolutely contemporary, with a lot of playfulness and an undeniable penchant for electronic instruments.
