Alexalone
The project of Austin-based musician Alex Peterson, alexalone debuted in 2016 with We Can Be Alone Together, a textured mix of sprawling shoegaze and lo-fi indie rock. Known for their involvement as a touring member of Hovvdy and Lomelda, Peterson later signed with the Polyvinyl label and expanded alexalone into a full band for the 2021 full-length Alexaloneworld. 2023's intense Alexalone Technical Research continued with the group approach and consisted of several lengthy tracks.
A regular of Austin's indie underground, singer/guitarist Peterson has a knack for creating sonically adventurous soundscapes that encompass everything from lo-fi loops and eerie drones to swirling '90s-inspired shoegaze. Under the moniker alexalone, they began releasing music in 2016, first with the dramatic six-track project We Can Be Alone Together, followed a year later by the Sadness3 EP. While also serving as the touring bassist for Hovvdy and Lomelda, Peterson drew praise from outlets like NPR for their innovative solo work.
Adding bandmates Sam Jordan, Mari Rubio, and Andrew Hulett into the recording process, Peterson took a more collaborative approach for their first full-length. Inspired by such disparate sources as author Haruki Murakami, indie rockers Yo La Tengo, and the Nintendo video game Zelda, alexalone crafted their debut album, Alexaloneworld, which was released in 2021 by Polyvinyl Records. Over the next two years, the band continued to gel, sharing members with and touring alongside Lomelda, whose leader, Hannah Read, also joined in. The taut, heavy darkness of this quintet iteration was captured on alexalone's follow-up album, 2023's Alexalone Technical Research. Consisting of five tracks, two of them nearly 13 minutes long, the record called to mind influences like Slint, Boris, and Sonic Youth.
