"I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes"
Alice In Videoland are back!! After the disappointment (at least on my end) of their last album, they've come back with a single that hearkens back to their earlier days. It is incessantly catchy and fuses their otherworldly electro-punk with a glossy pop edge. These guys are primed for a fantastic comeback, and this song could easily do it for them. In a lot of ways, it highlights the things that have always been so cool about AiV: the in-your-face vocals, the pulsing electro that sounds more like rock & roll, and the instant accessibility of their simple melodies. I hope that the next album is this strong, and a couple tracks longer than their last, EP-ish release. There really aren't any other bands that sound quite like them.
