ALT CTRL is home to the latest and greatest in alternative music. Here, it’s as much an attitude as a sound—music that keeps things a little left of centre and rough around the edges. This week, Ax and the Hatchetmen are joined by Albert Hammond Jr for “Blurry Lights”, a track that throws back to the sounds of early-2000s indie (and the heyday of Hammond’s scene-shaping work with The Strokes). “Blurry Nights” is an ode to awkward lust and late-night loneliness, with vocalist and guitarist Axel Ellis confessing his desires (“So tie me up in your sweater/Let me lay on your bed/I just wanna feel better”) over a moody and addictive guitar riff.
