Description:
Alias' first solo instrumental album in five years (since 2003's Muted).
Perhaps owing to his recent experience crafting collaborative LPs (in 2006 with electro-pop chanteuse Tarsier; in 2005 with his multi-instrumentalist brother Ehren), this is Alias' most melodic work yet. As well as three one minute ambient interludes, Resurgam is also an album of heavy, intricate rhythms, as evidenced by introductory banger New To A Few, and M.G. Jack, which begins with the cool asceticism of Boards Of Canada, but peaks with an Avalanches-like exuberance, interweaving patterns of distorted beat-boxing, live percussion, Casio-styled effects, and burbling synth.
For all its melodic breadth, Resurgam is imbued with a hip-hop bent that has Alias exploring complex beat-fuckery a la Prefuse 73 even as he's howling notes like Tunde Adibempe, or dicing a Re-Up Gang sample to sprinkle over pensive piano. Resurgam is also notable for its two collaborative tracks featuring the falsettos croons and low-toned poems of Why?'s Yoni Wolf & AM Radio.
