Release Notes:
Think Can or Faust all mashed up with the personal disco of Arthur Russell.
Think of the electric organ of Terry Riley's Shri Camel, slowly morphing and
perpetually in motion, but remaining in step with a guitar-less and
Moroder-charged Sparks. And think of a more composed Dead C, where Michael
Morley sings about Big Thunder Mountain while holding a beach ball in one hand
and fending off the digital shards of musique concrΦte humming around his ears
with the other.
Alex Delivery have gleefully exposed their myriad gifts and influences with
their debut full-length Star Destroyer, almost two years in the making. On it
the New York-based quintet have demonstrated their penchant for the
electro-organic, seamlessly blending the sharp and gentle, like a chain-gang
draped in organza. You can hear the chattering of insects resonating from the
inside of a kettle drum, and you can imagine this colossal robo-beast wobbling
and waltzing down an abandoned carnival boardwalk. Sylphs soar across strings,
occasionally descending to enjoy some wiggle-worthy poly-rhythms. These and many
more colorful characters have climbed aboard the Star Destroyer.
Alex Delivery is Nik Bozic, Marika Kandelaki, Robert Lombardo, Colin Ryan, and
Yegang Yoo. Star Destroyer was self-recorded and mixed by the band and mastered
at West West Side with Alan Douches. The album artwork is taken from six oil
paintings made by Kandelaki.
