Member Since	2/21/2005
Band Website	www.boyinstatic.com
Band Members	Alexander Chen (viola, vocals, assorted) & Kenji Ross (drums, beats)
Influences	Subscribe to email list: Candy Cigarette (2009) Reviews: "Instantly catchy. Like Erasure singing about an Edward Hopper painting." -Guardian "Like Patrick Wolf without the flare of hot pants." -RCRDLBL "Deeply personal yet with a great sense of splendor." -URB "Light-hearted and despondent." -XLR8R “Forays into whimsy like Jon Brion. Innovative pop." -BPM Violet (2007) Reviews: “Manages to astonish ... Takes a simple color and turns it into a masterpiece.” (4.5/5 stars)" -URB "A shoegazing dream-pop epic." -Boomkat "Achingly beautiful. Your heart breaks, just like it should." -Aiding & Abetting "A beautiful album. Highly reccommended." -BPM Newborn (2004) Reviews: "Recalls the beatless poetry of My Bloody Valentine...sentimental pop music for the post-everything world of today. (4/5 stars)" -All Music Guide "Caught the ear of Notwist's Markus and Micha Acher. Released on the brothers Alien Transistor label...gauzy, whispered confessions...beats as broken as his heart." -Boston Phoenix "Astonishingly fine production." -XLR8R "Resounding, dynamic roar. A home-schooled auteur." -Dustedmagazine.com General press: "Set up the night's introspective tone...Amid the echoes of 1980's bands like New Order, Mr. Chen revealed a strong sense of melody and his own blend of diffidence, longing and tenacity." (Sep 21, 2005) -New York Times
