Alexander Tucker began as the vocalist in post-rock hardcore
5-piece 'Unhome' who released one album "A Short History of
Houses" (Unlabel) and a split single with Papa M. Unhome split
in late 1999 and Tucker went on to tour with Detroit space-
rockers 'Fuxa'. Simultaneously, Tucker had been developing his
interest in improvisation using detuned guitars, tape loops,
mini disc player and fx pedals. In early 2000 Tucker recorded
a solo self-titled album of acoustic finger-picking,
experimental electronics, field recordings and spooked vocals,
which was picked up by Tom Greenwood of Jackie-O-Motherfucker
and released under his U-Sound Archives label.
Tuckers' ability to combine compositional song structures,
drones, layered vocals and improvisations culminated on his
2005 album "Old Fog" (ATP/R), a collection of spectral moods,
eerie landscapes and fragile emotions.
His commanding live performance has led to collaborations
which include working with Stephen O'Malley (SunnO))),
Khanate) on his Ginnungagap side project (Southern Records
limited Latitudes series), providing the soundtrack to Lali
Chetwynd's performance piece at Tate Britain and playing as a
part of JOMF, Duke Garwood, and Little Wet Horse.
Tucker's second studio album "Furrowed Brow" (ATP/R) was
recorded in his home county of deepest darkest Kent. For this
new recording Tucker combined harmonised vocal patterns,
layered instrumentation and heavy sonic bliss riffs to create
a cross-between David Crosby, doom metal and Terry Riley. It
was released in November 2006.
Alexander Tucker is also a visual artist, creating artwork for
all of his album covers and side projects, including ongoing
drawings and comic artwork for 'Sturgeon White Moss' (White
Moss Press) and the new cover for Nordic doom-master
Wolfmangler'(Aurora Borealis). More recently he has also
collaborated with Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))).
