Miss Alex White & The Red Orchestra


Miss Alex White & The Red Orchestra – Space & Time

With a lip snarl that could rival a young Joan Jett, Miss Alex White & The Red Orchestra spit out pure garage rock & roll fuzz. Everything is recorded to the bone: no lavish production values and an album that just barely breaks the thirty-minute mark. Instantly it is something you’d hear on Little Steven Underground Garage, and reckon it was a misplaced 7 inch from the 60’s. Nope. Miss Alex White has been resurrecting the sounds of Velvet Underground, Modern Lovers and hints of the MC5 for some time now, and her new album Space & Time is an equally impressive artifact. From the reverb drenched bubblegum pop of “She Wanna” to the hefty guitar fuzz and drum blitzkrieg of the opening track “In The Snow”, everything has been recorded in the red, and is spiked with enough brash attitude to make you question authority.
