alexalone – “everydayishalloween”
Back in 1984, the pre-industrial synthpop version of Ministry had a single called " (Every Day Is) Halloween ." On his 2007 mixtape track " Upgrade ," Lil Wayne said, "I'm a monster, every day is Halloween." Those two songs seemingly don't have anything to do with each other, and I don't think either of them has anything to do with alexalone's new single "everydayishalloween," either. I guess all…
The year 1984 saw Ministry releasing a single titled "(Every Day Is) Halloween." Fast forward to 2007, Lil Wayne dropped a track called "Upgrade" with a similar sentiment: "I'm a monster, every day is Halloween." Though seemingly unrelated, these songs seem to share the same "every day is Halloween" ideology. Despite the name, Alexalone is a project that began as a DIY indie rock solo act by Austin musician Alex Peterson, a former member of Hovvdy and Lomelda's live bands.
They gained attention with their 2023 album ALEXALONE TECHNICAL RESEARCH and performed at the 2024 Marathon Austin party. Now, Alexalone has transformed into a trio, and their latest song "everydayishalloween" is a disorientating and ominous blend of scratchy guitars and unsettling samples. It evokes the sinister side of Explosions In The Sky.
The track is now available on Spirit Research. As the week's music landscape unfolds, here are the most crucial stories and the least significant memes.
