THE COOL GREENHOUSE ALEXA!

Currently hailing from London, The Cool Greenhouse's razor-sharp sardonicism has a distinctively British flavour. Somewhat akin to the cynical ramblings of Fat White Family, The Fall or The Modern Lovers, the band's deranged-sounding new tune 'Alexa!' is an off-kilter contemporary love song and ode the infamous Amazon-backed household assistant-cum-surveillance device. Propelled by a hectic, see-sawing guitar pattern that's repetitiveness becomes increasingly maddening as the track progresses, metronomic beats keep time like clockwork. Interjected by the odd synth line, the incessant lyrics steel focus on 'Alexa!' as they reel off a tirade of opinions on the somewhat dystopian domestic robot.
