Alex Izenberg dévoile son double single “An Obscured Odyssey” & “The Wraith Behind Our Eyes”
26th June 2024
Alex Izenberg dévoile deux nouveaux singles, “An Obscured Odyssey” et “The Wraith Behind Our Eyes”. “An Obscured Odyssey” est accompagné d'une vidéo peinte à la main par John Andrews of John Andrews & Yawns. Les deux titres sont extraits du quatrième album d'Izenberg, le premier avec son groupe, ‘Alex Izenberg & The Exiles’, qui sortira le 26 juillet via Weird World / Domino.
Le captivant “An Obscured Odyssey” repose sur l'une des mélodies les plus élégantes de l'album et les paroles d'Izenberg suggèrent un triomphe subtil qui laisse la place à une obscurité troublante. “The Wraith Behind Our Eyes”, quant à lui, progresse avec un groove envoûtant, destiné à s'ancrer dans votre esprit dès la première écoute.

As Alex Izenberg was piecing together the sweeping, psychedelic opuses on his full-band debut Alex Izenberg & The Exiles, the Los Angeles artist was focused on a simple goal: making something built to last. At the heart of his songs are bold ideas that take inspiration from the heady musings of philosopher Alan Watts, the multi-layered storytelling of King Crimson, and the imagistic vistas of Fleet Foxes. While the subject matter may feel esoteric—“My unconscious named the tongue/Of the lights of closed eyes” goes a characteristic lyric—Izenberg and his band let the music drift pleasantly to earth. The melodies are romantic and warm, and the arrangements are invitingly expansive, making expert use of a new ensemble formed around the strongest songs of his career.
