"Oh shit," he chortles. He's always had a habit of talking through his laughter, syllables punctuated and staccato."How do I make. this. sound. smar-ter than-nn it is?", the stage name of Alex Bailey who cooks up some of the best hyperpop out there when he's not hosting Pop Dot Com, his quarterly event for DIY pop makers to showcase their work at Chicago's Berlin Nightclub.
"I started getting more serious about music a couple years ago, after I got sober," Alexzone explains."I started working with Boy Sim, who I met on Twitter." Boy Sim, who has worked with acts likeand Nattalie Blake, sends Alex instrumental tracks online, whence Alexzone writes his own lyrics and melodies. The two share files back and forth until a"pop song comes out."
Their most recent collaboration is a song started back in November called"Tie Me Down!" It starts off with a familiar marimba-y introduction before a heavier, darker synth slithers under Alexzone's auto-tuned vocals. Then, the entire bottom of the track falls out to reveal a chorus that pleads,"Let's dance like we're the only ones around/ I won't make a sound, just tie me down.
You can catch Pop Dot Com's Ring Central event on May 6 at 8 PM where performers will share unreleased material and other rarities."Tie Me Down!" can be found, below, and wherever your music is streamed.
