The band's third album, "Alert!", released on Playground Music, presents a more direct and urgent sound than their previous efforts. The album leans into a driving, alternative rock sensibility with clear shoegaze influences.
- "Alert!" was recorded in Malmö with producer Jens Lindgren. The album charted at number 42 in Sweden. The lead single "Flicker" received moderate airplay on independent radio stations.
- Alter Annala's members have cited My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive as key influences on their sound. The album was a departure from the more ambient textures of their debut.
- The band toured extensively in Europe following the release of "Alert!", playing festivals such as Roskilde and Primavera Sound. This album is considered by some critics to be their most complete statement.
Alter Annala is an indie rock outfit from Sweden, known for their blend of shoegaze and alternative rock. "Alert!" was released late in their career, following a period of critical acclaim for their previous work.
