In an attempt to awaken the spirit of the electro-rock genre, Anna - the “babe” in Aluminum Babe - credits her musical inspiration to electroclash, The Sex Pistols, Swedish children’s songs, and yes, even psychedelics. And oddly enough, it works. The songs and beats are repetitive and the lyrics are so high-pitched that you can’t even understand what’s being said, but with catchy tracks such as “Infatuation” and “Psycho Killer,” you can’t help but want to stop whatever you’re doing and get up to shake your ass and sing along; it’s the perfect, simple cure to a terrible, bland day. Rarely do I enjoy music as noisy and all over the place, but 17 works. Apparently Aluminum Babe’s doing something right. - Alexis Quinn Chamberlain
