ALT CTRL

ALT CTRL is home to the latest and greatest in alternative music. This week, we’re featuring “Pretty Vicious,” the standout title track from The Struts’ most recent album, released in November. “This song sounds like nothing else out there at the moment,” Luke Spiller tells Apple Music, noting that it even has a slight increase in tempo throughout, an effect that’s relatively rare in contemporary music. “It feels like it breathes and has time to live. And, of course, it's a great song to have a boogie to—and that's never a bad thing.” Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
