Ian Thomas Alexy is one of the true gems to discover in Northern Minnesota music. Undeniably unique, hauntingly familiar, and awesome.
His latest release, Born On the Day of the Dead (Oct, 2012), is instantly Ian Thomas but charges through new sonic territory with surprisingly lasting results. The music is grippingly inviting and eye-to-eye intimate. With every release Ian Thomas Alexy proves his storytelling talent is truly exceptional.
As usual, it was very difficult to choose just one song to highlight… All of them are very good, and while there is an outstanding flow from one song to the next, no single song could possibly represent the entire album. From acoustic driven story-folk to crunchy guitar anthems, it’s all a delight to experience.
Every time one song ended and the next one started I’d say to myself, “THIS is the one to use.”‘ Every. Time.
But this is the song that I basically put on repeat just to sing along with the chorus, check out “Stick Around”:
I have consistently enjoyed everything that Ian has a hand in, and each new release reminds me why: it’s artistically crafted to draw you in, thought provoking in a self-reflective way, and as memorable as your favorite stories with a longtime friend.
Thanks for another outstanding piece of work, Ian. And please keep them coming.
