If you're going to name your album after one of Jean Luc-Godard's most unsettling films, you'd better make it great. Imperial Triumphant succeeded in doing so with 2020 masterpiece Alphaville thanks to a fearless blend of spastic free jazz, terrorizing wails of despair and unorthodox rhythmic patterns that have no mind to please listeners so much as destabilize their sense of reality. Alphaville is catharsis through nightmarish aural immersion — and, like Hell, the only way out is through. Kelsey Chapstick
