22-year old Nicaraguan-Norwegian Alex & The Alpaca delivers delectably melodic earworms of indie pop tunes that have you addicted like no other. There’s that distinctive carefree energy amidst his wonderfully bright and vibrant palette of indie pop and rock tunes alongside some semblance of electronic production through keen synth work. Being the youngest brother in a family of musicians has given Alex the opportunity to pick up different musical skills, allowing him to form his own one-man band. ‘Adorable’ is an immediate hook driven bop of an indie pop tune that relies on a whole lot of different aspects to still somehow deliver a tune that’s simultaneously infectious and energetic yet wholly relaxing and calming.
Backed by a beat that sounds like it wouldn’t be out of place in a video game, the ironic and sardonic lyricism coupled with the pomp of the production creates for a combination that thrives in its own contrasts. It is, adorable.
