Alvin Risk is one of DC’s hidden artists. Mr. Shuttle turned me on to Alvin Risk’s music and I gotta say it is some good stuff. “At Last” is a straight-forward synth pop tune that reminds me of early Midnight Juggernauts when they were channeling the likes of ELO. There are splashes of The Buggles that pop up during the chorus. Production wise there are those heavily compressed/side-chained drums we are use to in electro/banger music but within in a pop context is a surprising touch such as in Emil & Friends’ music. Vocally, Alvin Risk delivers whispery vocals that remind me of the Postal Service which should be making a comeback about now. Overall great music that should be heard.
