ALT CTRL
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, ROLE MODEL is “waiting for someone to change [his] life” with “High Hopes 3000”, the first single off <i>Chuck Timely & The Hourglass</i>, out 7 August. “High Hopes 3000”, with its bar-ready piano, handclaps and light guitar riffs, screams vintage sing-along, and that’s easy to do considering how relatable the chorus is: “I need some high hopes/Lord knows I could use ’em.” Check back often, as our editors update this playlist regularly—and if you hear something you like, add it to your library.
