Expensive Looks - Nothing More

Expensive Looks, the pseudonym for New York-based psych-pop producer Alec Feld, meld tropical garage breaks, shimmering visceral chants, and disco-edged house to kick back to the displays of natural forces and days of unparalleled euphoric ecstasy. Akin to creations of early garage titans and wonders transfused with codeine-soaked acid jams, the smoothly ethereal yet grimy sounds reveal the inner-workings of towering, crashing polar shifts.

"I kill for euphoria and use it as a venue to get that polar-shifting depressive state across. This isn’t about me not being happy, it’s more about my frustration with the pursuit of happiness," says Expensive Looks’ Alec Feld, and this pretty much sums up the feeling you get when you listen to “Nothing More” or any of the tracks on his debut album Dark Matters. He somehow manages to sonically summon the endorphins while dwelling on the loneliness in you. Dark Matters is out January 17th on Group Tightener .
