“Scorpion Queen” by Almost Alive is a haunting, indie-rock masterpiece that delves into the darkness of internal struggle. This Cape Town-based band seamlessly blends alternative rock with the emotive depth of Arctic Monkeys and The Neighbourhood.
The song’s transformative power lies in its shifting rhythms and electric energy. A pivotal guitar solo at 2:04 injects anguish, struggle and desperation, evoking the turmoil of substance addiction.
Almost Alive’s debut album, “Apple” (releasing February 16), promises a sonic exploration of alternative rock, modern soundscapes and heartfelt storytelling. Inspired by Arctic Monkeys, Gorillaz and Cage the Elephant, “Apple” masterfully balances production, aesthetics and instrumentation.
Lead singer Barry’s lyrical prowess shines through themes of hedonism, sin and self-reflection. His provocative yet introspective approach tackles personal demons and societal shortcomings.
“Scorpion Queen” heralds Almost Alive’s emergence in Cape Town’s music scene, solidifying their unique voice.
