Hexentanzplatz, by Alice Hubble

Hexentanzplatz

by Alice Hubble

supported by

Art Fin Serious synthpop with strident vocals that reminds me of Ladytron and Bachelorette. Favorite track: Power Play.

steveinsocal "…despite - or perhaps because of it's title - this album feels less Krautrock and more full-bore electro-pop, and sees Alice embrace her inner 80s post-punk as she sprinkles her avant-garde pop aesthetic with bright synth-pop melodies and choruses, while colouring with all manner of assorted electronic effects… an air of intrigue adds to an album that feels on the one hand cerebral yet is equally at home on the dance-floor…"

PRESS RELEASE
============

Alice Hubble releases Hexentanzplatz her second album on September 10th, 2021 via London-based electronic-pop label Happy Robots. Described as the work of ‘one lady at home with her enormous collection of synthesisers’, Alice Hubble mixes melancholic pop, layered vintage synths and elegant vocals. Her debut album Polarlichter was released in September 2019 to much critical acclaim.

'Hexentanzplatz' is named after the German mountain steeped in magic and legend, translates literally to mean Witches’ Dance Floor. An apt title for an album that dances its way through themes of illusion, love, feminism and protest whilst maintaining glistening, 80’s synth-pop sensibilities. Whilst Hubble was driving around the Harz Mountains last summer, the song ‘Beautiful Madness’ by Michael Patrick Kelly was on regular radio rotation. She repeatedly misheard the lyrics, thinking Kelly was singing “Oh what a beautiful mountain”, a sentiment which had much more resonance given their surroundings. The misheard line made Hubble smile and became the basis of her new record’s title track. “Being an eternal optimist I felt the need to write something in 2020 that was full of hope and positivity,” she says.

Hexentanzplatz is now available on vinyl and digital. Alice Hubble is set to take her immersive live show on the road this Autumn 2021.

I love Alice Hubble's solo albums and had no idea Alice was in a previous duo. This sounds like Ladytron's vocals over Kraftwerk's music. Art Fin

Great blend of 80's synthpop/Kraftwerk/Pet Shop Boys/New Order sounds but with a wonderful style of its own. mrrockitt
