Release Notes:
Dirty Beaches, a.k.a. Alex Zhang Hungtai, started off as a one-man band in 2005
in Montreal. A trans-Pacific nomad and genre-hopping sound-smith, he has
released music ranging from drone instrumentals to film scores, and possesses a
fascination for dissecting popular American music like blues, rockabilly, soul,
R&B and hip hop, often rendering it to a point where it is no longer
recognizable.
HungtaiÆs latest release, Drifters / Love Is the Devil, is a sprawling
double-album that chronicles the musicianÆs life on the road over the past two
yearsùthrough the labyrinths of Berlin, Belgrade, Paris, and many other cities;
through heartbreak, rebirth and masochistic, existential self-reflection.
Recorded between Montreal and Berlin in the winter of 2012, the two halves of
Drifters / Love Is the Devil are separated only by aesthetics, as they are
tightly woven together thematically as one conceptual piece. If 2011Æs Badlands
was an exercise in exorcising past ghosts in a semi-fictional world, then
Drifters / Love Is the Devil is a reflection on the fragility of realityùthat of
the outside world in which the artist explores the nightlife of bright neon
temptations and hedonistic values, and that of the inner world, one of remorse
and lovelorn tragedies.
