(Flennen) Yet another contemporary German throwback to the Neue Deutsche Welle, and I’m not mad about it. Opener “Irgendwas Ist Immer” builds plenty of tension and drama over three-and-a-half minutes, and there’s a sharp, Zickzack’d angularity cutting through in the staccato guitar stabs and rigid rhythms of “Attitüde” and “Zustände,” but on a whole, Kiel’s ALIBI are far less shrouded and goth-influenced than the Berlin-based contingent of modern XMAL DEUTSCHLAND disciples like AUS, DIE SCHIEFE BAHN, and MISERE, landing somewhere closer to the second HANS-A-PLAST LP that bridged their late ’70s speedy punk spark with an expanded early ’80s post-punk palette. Impressively tight and locked-in for what’s essentially a first demo, and if whatever comes next plays up even more of the latent art-damage that I’m picking up on here, it could be genuinely savage.(Erika Elizabeth, Maximum RocknRoll)
