about
Multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter Alex Parry is LXP, and he has followed up his debut single ‘Concede’ with another fascinating piece of stylised electronica in new track ‘On Repeat’ The track will be on LXP’s forthcoming EP ‘Power Ballads Volume 1’. ‘On Repeat’ mixes pop sensibilities with a glitchy hyperactive electronic bed and a scaling chorus which mixes the smooth sinuous melodies that would make Prince proud, while grounding it with a sharp Nine Inch Nails edge that creates a distinctive counterpoint. It is fresh innovative material that is vibrant and exciting stuff. Operating out of Brockley, South London LXP delivers debut EP 'Power Ballads, Vol.1 with co-producer Seth Evans (ofBlack Midi and HMLTD) and mastered by Duc Peterman (of HMLTD and XVOTO). It's a mini-album stoked with wide-eyed pop experimentalism, Brainfeeder vibes, Portishead dynamics and Talk Talk spaciousness. With LXP taking a maximalist approach to music making the layers come dense and the beats big. That maybe, but at the core of 'Power Ballads' are songs, personal and lyrical, framed by vocals that command attention with every whisper, word and scream. Power Ballads Vol.1' is a cycle of songs from a network of influences (nu-soul darkwave, Mitski, Bon Iver, Kid A, Scott Walker's 'Bish Bosch...) all bundled intricately for cohesion and flow.
