| Cruising + Gross Odour is the debut release by Melbourne force of nature Alex Vivian, who began performing live in 2003 under the name Viviano, before opting for a more universal moniker a year later.
Alex is known for his striking, acapella solo performances, which can include dancing, displays of flesh, and fake vomit, while he sings songs about fast food, friendship and Bear Pride, accompanied by shakers, clapping, tape loops, delay pedals and assorted other knick-knacks. But there is nothing gimmicky about the music of Always - these are direct, personal and often very affecting compositions by a uniquely talented artist.
Cruising + Gross Odour was recorded on a four track tape machine by Sean Bailey, aka Chapter Music’s other 2006 solo star Lakes – as it says on the back cover, “extreme lo-fi, play loud!” |
