alexander m. (baxendale / the age of reason)
collaborators most-likely-to: david howell (double bass), will byers (cello), john noi (button pushing)
Influences
vitamin c, curved paper, dvd plus r, steely dan, touched troopers, active surroundings, wes montgomery, the sound of things falling apart, lemon in the drink, mos def's high definition, hackney repetition
Sounds Like
electronica jazz and mistake theory? that's what it means?
... what is sounds like it means, yes.
Alexander M. is a performer/producer tormented by the possibility of marrying the lyricism of Gershwin with the sound of Köln nightclubs. His songs span zippy pop, peppy electronica, and wistful, whistle-able tunes. A fullsome and colourful AFH album follows in Autumn 2009. Watch this space.
Working under the name “The Age of Reason” AFH just produced and arranged Piney Gir’s forthcoming album “The Yearling” - a cosmically beautiful record full of heartbroken electronics, folky saws, TR808s and massed lady-vocal brigades.

nice nod to gainsbourg/Bardot, but i gotta namedrop and show off my vintage Laetitia Sadier where i first discovered Stereolab (Random Noise Bursts with Annoncements)from a tour with Unrest (Norman, Okla). "Where can i buy your CDs?" "oh, you're on Sire? Like, The Cure and Talking Heads?" Oh yeah, Luna... Bonnie and Clyde. Maybe you should cover Blur's Laetitia or Francoise Hardy versions of "To the End". Okay-enough of this whizdumb and off to get sorted .
right on,79...far out. it's so neato. and that's an endorsement from the original 1978"groovy grubworm" of Oilpatch USA Oklahoma. wow. could you add a 12" remix- a loop would suffice because the music is so good that i never have the chance to roll my eyes back down and consider the lyrics. i tend to do that with catchy:it was months of mowing my lawn and running errands to Momus /and or Kahimi Karie "What Are You Wearing?" melodies (or years ago "Rusholme Ruffians") that i asked my captive audience " What is this song about? Does it match my emotional response?"
Hiya lovely, just thought I'd tell you I'm playing at the Troubadour tongiht in Earl's Court if you and Simon fancied it, I know Piney is busy. Cool! Lots of Love Georgia x
Great meeting you too, AF. Nice pic of Julie and Mark. And very nice tunes on yourspace!! I hope to hear them live sometime, so please stick me on your mailing list if you've got one?
