Description

Alcazar follow that age-old Scandinavian pop tradition of having a group name beginning with a capital "A". They also abide by another Euro-pop ritual, of being unable to fill their debut album Casino with anything more than 14 (or 15 if you include the hidden bonus track) variations of their disco-inspired hit "Crying at the Discotheque". Like this excellent breakthrough track, you somehow feel that you've heard all of these catchy tunes before. Following in the style of "...He wore a tie like Richard Gere", the lyrics are suitably wacky throughout ("...Identical strains of code, Dressed up inmore… the fashion mode" from the playful "Tears of a Clone"). Unfortunately the album flounders due to the continuous self-references (how many times can Alcazar be mentioned in the space of 55 minutes?) and having a male vocalist who sounds remarkably like radio presenter Paul Gambaccini. For quality alpha-Nordic pop try the Army of Lovers's Massive Luxury Overdose.--John Galilee
