Description
Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer, friends since high school, sought producer Richard Swift to shake things up on this album. Alix materialized as perhaps Generationals most confident record, full of history and as multiphase as Ted and Grants friendship. Built up with layer upon layer of rhythmic lines, computer noises, RZA beats, and poppy vocals that sometimes sound like a Janet Jackson/Prince face-off, Alix is everything T&G like about music: old and new, vinyl and youtube, vocal chord and microkorg, gathered up and arranged with great care into a good-smelling, subtly sexy, catchy-or-die mish-mosh of sensibilities and timewarp senselessness, lightly peppered with that signature Swiftian element, but undeniably Generationals in taste. As Swift had decreed: tis a good idea to tear down and rebuild, but its not always necessary to start from scratch.
Generationals have perfected its a-little-bit-of-everything pop. Under the Radar.
LP Standard Jacket, Green vinyl, includes free download.
Produced by Richard Swift (The Shins, Foxygen).
