ALEX – Youth (feat. Rachel McAlpine)
Manoeuvring its way through the strange, tense landscape like an allergic reaction to everything, the tracks accelerator pedal pressed down, a trip to a long past time.
Mimicking a classic, a timeless dance groove you’re familiar with, unique sequencers work their way from the background to the forefront. Synths occasionally offered in strobe, delivered in snapshots, movement fractured, one lunge at a time. Youth has a chaotic glamour, the synthscape painted out of focus, filters blurred noticeably in smudges while the vocal responds with self-possession, remarkably impassive in the half light.
Late night leads cruising through downtown LA, Juno and Jupiter poly synth shots rise and fall to the cars revving engine, cosmic chords with neon FM shots flaring into view here and there with epic 80s synth flair.
Channelling the late-night vibe Rachel McAlpine voice is a new force every time you hear it enter the synthscape with its relaxed but piercing tonality.
