| 'we could still make it', the latest release from alexander strung (the chief smiles, badger, lazarus go home, the gifted children), is a 16-song, 34-minute album that greatly expands upon the sounds of last year's 'party'...
there isn't a filler song in the bunch, as mr. strung moves from claustrophobic, off-kilter rock ('black sleeves') to electro-funk ('they love me') to breezy pop that recalls the best of wilco ('starlite lounge') to hook-laden power-pop that would make bob pollard proud ('show yourself') and well beyond... recommended if you like: boyracer - to get a better hold you've got to loosen yr grip wilco - summerteeth guided by voices - bee thousand prince - sign o the times Note: We've made this release available as both a free and a paid download. The choice is yours - you are welcome to either pay upfront by clicking the 'Buy now' link below, or download the album for free by downloading the tracks individually via the soundcloud player, or as a zip file which contains full-resolution artwork by clicking the 'Free' link below.

| we at tinhorn planet are pleased to announce our first non-gifted children release with this, 'party', by alexander strung. essentially a solo album by part-time gifted children contributor and full-time leader of the chief smiles, alexander strung, 'party' is a ten-song set of electro-pop without any of the shitty trendiness in that genre which often makes us wince.
recorded in his brooklyn apartment in late 2008, mr. strung has created a cozy winter womb filled with hooks, beats and great songs aplenty... from the melancholy party vibe of "olympic twin" (with a cameo from full-time gifted child jeff suszczynski) to the muted bedroom electro-pop of "holocene", and the understated pop anthem that is "valley forge", this is a winter album of diverse, small pleasures. come and get it, and feel free to donate whatever you want if you like it! recommended if you like: atlas sound - let the blind lead those who can see but cannot feel beck - modern guilt radiohead - kid a | |
