Boy In Static (aka Alexander Chen) is a 25 year old musician/visual artist from Boston. After being signed to Notwist's record label Alien Transistor he released his bedut album 'Newborn' gaining critical acclaim. His latest album 'Violet' picks right up where 'Newborn' left off stating it "became an album about the morning after Newborn's night". His shoegazey electronic sound coupled with soft thoughtful lyrics makes Boy In Static a regular in my playlsits when I am working or just trying to take my mind off things. Chen has recently been gaining success as an interactive visual and sound artist with shows in New York, Milan and Barcelona. One of his notable pieces is one where he generated music from footage of Philadelphia commuters earning him an award from the Guardian. The following is a video for 'Where It Ends' from the album 'Violet'....enjoy!
