Review

Broken Bells' "After the Disco" is a thrilling ride into the fusion of alternative rock and electronic music, shining a spotlight on the band's knack for innovative sounds. Bringing in the Angel City String Orchestra and a four-piece choir adds layers of depth to the mix, lending a lush, immersive quality to the tracks. The album's vibe feels like a late-night journey through a vivid, neon-lit soundscape.

The title track, "After the Disco," feels almost ethereal with its blend of dreamy synths and reflective lyrics. "Holding On for Life," meanwhile, hooks you right from the start with its upbeat tempo and sing-along chorus—it's the kind of song that demands to be put on repeat. The opening numbers, "Perfect World" and "Lazy Wonderland," set up the album beautifully with their robust synth-pop energy. Even though some say it doesn't quite reach the heights of their debut, "After the Disco" still stands as a testament to Broken Bells' ability to push musical boundaries while keeping things catchy and engaging. This album is a delightful gem for anyone who enjoys a mix of nostalgic and innovative vibes in their playlist. - Sienna
