Alex Delivery is a New York arty five-piece band with a strong WTF? factor. Your scale for comparisons is continually being upended; sometimes it’s Can or Faust, sometimes you think you hear Giorgio Moroder electro-pop, and sometimes it just sounds like Bright Eyes in a bacon slicer. Each track is clearly a song, with firm structure and melody, but those elements are often subliminal, felt as much as heard, beneath layers of industrial-organic sound, which is sometimes white noise, sometimes tinkles and chimes. Opening track ‘Komad’ is a good example, consisting of different elements soldered together: it starts with small glitchy sounds like insects talking, mutates into unsettling and dissonant string effects repeating themselves and then bursts into an industrial disco rhythm that sounds like a techno Tubeway Army. That endless metronomy is a feature of the album’s six tracks; ‘Milan’ starts dreamily and disappears into driving beats while ‘Sheath Wet’ is an all-encompassing 11 minute Krautrock rhythm, although they also manage to sweeten the mix with a carnival tune and some mutated folk rock. It’s arty and experimental but much more satisfying than it might first appear.
