专辑简介

化名为Boy Is Fiction的音乐人Alex Gillett,来自澳洲墨尔本.07年6月在英国厂牌List Records旗下发行首张同名专辑"Boy Is Fiction".整张专辑花了Alex将近三年的时间才制作完成.简单的键盘,合成器,吉它,拼接不齐的采样,轻忽缥缈的电音,营造出唯美的疏离氛围,仿佛从现实中脱离.

Australian artist Boy is Fiction ties his art to his music so tightly that they’re closer to Siamese twins than the identical ones of other artists. The dark, pock-marked concrete wall on the cover, with the similarly-colored rectangular corrugated tin nailed to part of this wall evoke and reflect the dirty, industrial simplicity of the self-titled debut. At times sedate, at times paranoid, but always effective, the album is perfect for moonlight walks through “streets that follow like a tedious argument of insidious intent” or a deserted industrial park.

Album opener “BiF vs 307” wastes no time in setting the tone for the album, with light keys dancing from the start, creating a subtle hint of paranoia that may be overshadowed by the relaxed, confident beauty the rest of the track exudes. By the time the dirty, industrial programmed beats come in, there is no turning back – the track is burned into your mind, leaving you clamoring for more. Reversed vocal samples are used to great effect on “Why Did You Do That?” and “Stack is Bad,” adding an eerie feel to the tracks while flowing perfectly with the beats. Praise is due to “Should Have Stopped,” undoubtedly the standout track of the album. All the grit, fear, and beauty of the tracks before and after it flow into the dark underlying drone and nagging keys. This is the kind of track that will leave you looking over your shoulder at night, eyeing nervously anyone who happens to cross your path.
