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 center and rough around the edges. This week, LA synth-pop duo Haute & Freddy see no point in introversion with “Shy Girl,” the perfect song to play for your friend who’s a little too timid to head out for the night—or come out of their shell.
