oops, i did it again is the second full-length album by nineteen
year-old rjyan kidwell, better known to his many devoted followers
as cex (pronounced "sex"). since his first tour with kid606 in the
summer of 1999 and the release of last years stunning role model
full-length debut, cex has been stirring up electronic music
culture with his rhythmic, catchy music and his irreverent,
outspoken personality.
eschewing the enigmatic and pretentious posture of most electronic
music producers, cex opts for revelling in the imperfections of
his humanity, creating songs that draw from a variety of musical
influences and translating them into personal portraits.
constantly touring across the us and even japan to maintain his
claim as "the #1 entertainer in the world," cex"s high-energy,
in-your-face on-stage antics include extended freestyles,
screaming, loss of clothes (sometimes blood), and lots of sweat.
spin magazine recently did a feature on the "laptop rock" scene
that spotlighted the tigerbeat6 label family, urb magazine named
him one of the "next 100" artists to blow up for 2001 whilst
gracing him with a three page fashion shoot and in their review of
role model wrote that, "it could be boards of canada without a
ritalin description", (high praise by our standards!) the wire
wrote that in cex "lies a genuine pop sensibility that knows how
to build a delicately soulful hook out of a few sparse fragments"
and that "its the self confidence and serenity at the heart of his
quieter moments that captivate" and alternative press"s review of
role model cited young rjyan as a "true role model-indeed."
combining his love of meaty beats a-la dj premier and timbaland,
the sonic experimentation of mentors kid606, matmos, and lesser,
the heartfelt electronica of early aphex twin and boards of canada
along with the diy hip-hop of anticon and the pop aesthetic of
lo-fi pioneers like sebadoh and calvin johnson, cex has a sound
that manages to be unique, relevant, and accessible whilst
creating a deep and moving album that provides some of the most
raw and visceral electronic music today. the catchy melodies and
fierce percussion programming of role model have matured and
expanded - on oops, cex plays acoustic guitar, acts out skits,
sings acapella, and lays down some of the nicest booty-beats of
his career. overall, oops, i did it again! shows us that despite
all the talking that"s been done about rjyan kidwell, we"ve barely
managed to scratch the surface of the laptop scene"s spastic
visionary!!!
