Alphabeat - Fascination (EMI)

Hailing from Denmark, where they are already a platinum-selling success, Alphabeat have recreated their own 80s-style pop with their new single.

Fascination is a twisted fusion of feel-good pop and tambourine-smashing energy bringing to the chart a distinctly camp, but undoubtedly catchy record.

With a plethora of cheesy keyboards and nonsensical lyrics, ("kill the young dudes in their high boots,") this record should be nothing but annoying. But somehow this group of Danes have managed to produce a song which is not only easy to tap your feet to, but also one which makes you smile every time you hear it.

The track is nothing spectacular or revolutionary, but a record this happy surely can't be a bad thing.

It may be wise to expect more of the same from this band in the coming weeks, and with 10,000 Years on the horizon for next month, don't expect this band to go under the radar of all-but-a-couple of the national radio networks.
