Alec Feld’s latest project, Golden Eye, is probably one of the most naturally complete sides he’s taken a part of. Apart from his solo-made disintegrating loops of Expensive Looks or the radically political hip-hop jams from Public Safety, Feld has teamed up with a few of his college friends in Massachusetts and turned more towards psych and surf-y influences. Well said words from the man himself proclaim the music as, “west coast sound meets east coast forests, equal parts land and sea, short but sweet…”

Bitter cold and rural suburbia boredom have kept Alec locked in for the past few weeks. The result: some serious time spent hand crafting killer tunes. Making progress towards a new release, Trend Trash, Expensive Looks has dropped another head cold in “Simon”. Congested and sluggish buildups, tropical breaks and reverb soaked in enough codeine to fill even the largest Dirty South styrofoam cup. Expensive Looks is still proving to stand out in whats showing to be a “crowded bedroom” of one man pop outfits.

expensive looks//living scene

livingscene3

Alec (Expensive Looks) has sent over a few high risers before but nothing as cosmic as his latest, “Living Scene”. Coupled with star shooting phazers and explosive crashes, there’s a serious back road night ride feeling. One where light pollution is non existent and the entire universe can be seen. Think I might have mentioned their upcoming release on Mirror Universe Tapes (if so, here it is again), so pop this thing in yr deck and roll down the sunroof. “LEGIT”.

public safety//mutual feedback

Alec Feld (Expensive Looks) has sent over this track from his new “rap/dance/r&b/shoegaze” project named Public Safety. At 8 minutes 20 seconds you can expect “Mutual Feedback” to be a grower but it doesn’t take too much time to reach maturity. Aside from this, Expensive Looks has previously sent over some great tracks and has an upcoming release due out on Mirror Universe Tapes.

expensive looks//almost gone

skate

Made friends with Alec of Expensive Looks recently and he has since tuned me in to his lo-fi bedroom jams. Actually, in a search for some EL goods I noticed that Dodge has even caught on in his “Under the Radar” segment for their latest ep, Ruralized (available for streaming and digital purchase). But it’s what’s to be offered on the upcoming Almost Gone that has really caught my attention. Alec sent over these two tunes to appear on that title and I’ve had them on repeat all night: “But What Was” and “Found Out”. Hang loose with these and I’ll update you later with some release info.
