Any Time I hear any music that has a spaced out sound I instantly fall in love. I just started listening to Expensive Looks after giving them a listen on Pasta Primavera's Blog. Enjoy Moving Visions Bonus: Treehouse (Expensive Looks Remix) Get some more Expensive Looks oldies but goodies on the bandcamp .
Expensive Looks aka Alec Feld got me going about a month ago with his tripped out psych hashed trip hop meltings. Now he apparently has shifted gears slightly to one of a more dirty disco mind... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Today I don't feel happy so there will be no intro and little chatter. The Soft Moon - When It's Over ( mp3 ) You fight and fight them for days and years, but the monsters in your mind are still there, persistent, and one day you'll drop your guard and they'll inevitably take over. This is more psychopathic than psychedelic. [There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] Acid House [...]
New York's Expensive Looks are currently on the top of the pile blasting my light-footed Tuesday morning thoughts into oblivion. This musical project of Alec Feld has plenty of tunes on... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Found out är andra singeln från Expensive Looks kommande kassett Dress to impress , som jag rapporterade om för en månad sedan .

Lo-fi bedroom artist Expensive Looks has remixed fellow lo-fi act DOM's 'Living in America'. Expensive Looks takes the already fuzzy song and further drowns the vocals in heavier distortion keepin gsynths intact while giving the song a more dream pop sound. Expensive Looks...
Bloggvärlden har redan spårat ur lite på grund av den New York-baserade sängkammarproducenten Expensive Looks och hans singel Vanishers , och jag tar tillfället i akt att hoppa på the hypnotic psych pop express när Alec Feld nu släpper helt nya singeln Proud looks . Låten återfinns på kommande kassetten Dress to impress som släpps på Mirror Universe Tapes om några veckor, och som senare i år följs upp av en fullängdare på Group Tightener - så håll hårt i stolsgrannen och njut en vild [...]
" Golden Eyes Forever ", the debut 5-track release from Alec Feld 's project Golden Eye is described by himself as being about "the disintegration of summer and the construction of the fall months...the cyclic nature of psychosis". As Fall now makes its presence felt at the cost of Summer's warmth, this collection of tracks makes for perfect commiseration, nostalgia at our own entrapment in cycles. Tireless loops meshed with sleepy vocals, punchy drum-beats startling the calm, Golden Eye's mantra "the Woods are our Beach" makes sense relative to its contrast, sound. Golden [...]
A looping, loping sample swell, a house-like vocal clip, and Expensive Looks aka Alec Feld's own singing combine for "Vanishers," an ephemeral low blood pressure retouched-'90s dance track from the New York bedroom sound maker's forthcoming full-length. Click below to give this bazaar track a spin. If you don't hate it, you probably will love it. Dark Matters is due this year via Group Tightener . [via Stereogum ] [...]
mp3: Expensive Looks - Vanishers mp3: Expensive Looks - Living Scene Under the moniker Expensive Looks , one-man bedroom producer Alec Feld creates hypnotic, psych-trance jams that could, at times, lull you softly to sleep before startling you abruptly from slumber with caustic howls and tribal beats. This is weird shit, but there is something really interesting and engaging about it at the same time. The new LP Dark Matters is coming soon on Group Tightener .
It is true. They do have a party. After so many years of working hard they decide to have a party. They say to each other, "We are such happy doctors, and that is rare. We have seen so many terrible things, yet we are still happy. Let us have a party." And that is [...]
(photo via google image search) Alec Feld's latest project, Golden Eye , is probably one of the most naturally complete sides he's taken a part of. Apart from his solo-made disintegrating loops of Expensive Looks or the radically political hip-hop jams from Public Safety , Feld has teamed up with a few of his college friends in Massachusetts and turned more towards psych and surf-y influences. Well said words from the man himself proclaim the music as, "west coast sound meets east coast forests, equal parts land and sea, short but sweet..." [...]
New York's Alec Feld is Expensive Looks , and under this moniker he creates quite heavy yet dreamily meandering spaced-out bedroom pop, and his latest Be My Own is almost eight minutes of synth-leaden late night cruising, slightly dark and mind-boggling but still only intending to let you explore your inner self. Expensive Looks' debut cassette Dress to Impress will be out soon on Mirror Universe . Expensive Looks - Be My Own
Paige Maguire runs Flux-Rad which is a solid music blog if you need music from someone that has their finger on the pulse of what is going to be trending. I personally enjoy the zips of goodies that she curates and the art she picks for each mixtape that's gathered. I selected a few that really caught my ear from a recent collection. TRACKLIST Golden Ages - "Be Cool" Spirit Spine - "Flashes" [...]
Another solo show this week featuring new tracks from French Kissing, Eat Skull and Bad Sports. Looks like Ryan will be settled in at his new place soon and his Daewoo is almost out of the shop, so we hope to be back together more frequently. Also, listen up at the end of the show for details on a ticket giveaway to an upcoming show this weekend. Tune in here at Indie-Verse at 4 PM CST and listen up. 1) Jay Reatard - Francis Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on [...]
Bitter cold and rural suburbia boredom have kept Alec locked in for the past few weeks. The result: some serious time spent hand crafting killer tunes. Making progress towards a new release, Trend Trash , Expensive Looks has dropped another head cold in "Simon". Congested and sluggish buildups, tropical breaks and reverb soaked in enough codeine to fill even the largest Dirty South styrofoam cup . Expensive Looks is still proving to stand out in whats showing to be a "crowded bedroom" of one man pop outfits. Expensive Looks - Simon
New Yorker Alec Feld gives us some more of this chilled-psych bedroom thing, but adds a nice bit of post-punk grit to "Living Scene" via repetitious vocal taunts that escalate toward the end. Kinda like Mark E. Smith busting in on a Washed Out session? Feld mentions '60s garage rockers the Chocolate Watchband and Zakary Thaks as influences... the grit comes from that part of the family. On other tracks he definitely locks into a more straightforward lo-fi space-rock thing (see "Found Out" or envision Magic Hour/Crystalized Movements as a less-nimble one-man band). Whatever the construction, the sound remains just [...]
