The sophomore record from Swiss synth-pop mavericks Alois is called Azul, which means blue in Spanish. And like an expansive, saturated summer sky is a soothing and generous gradient of blues. Full of warm, life-affirming energies softly infused with a deep-seated melancholy. The songwriting combines what the band loosely call Caribbean disco – all manners of Caribbean and African music – with elements of contemporary electronica, 80s synth-wave, balearic, dub and hints of trap. It’s a hybridised pop with a heavy predilection for the dance floor.
