my new favorite person. iamx [pronounced i-am-x] is a beautiful beast that i found through my burgeoning anglophilia. its getting ridiculous really. i can trace how i ended up here but i still cannot remember what sparked it. it was reawakened [ it began in high school with coldplay] by russell to the boosh to chris corner / iamx.
its the related videos effect. and i love it.
but the man above here is difficult to explain in all the right ways but what clicked in my head when trying to put my visual references together was prince meets trent reznor. but he is his own force of music and art that i am having a ball discovering.
so besides me liking the music and his mesmerizing quality, what is it that makes me like him?
his seeming schizophrenic bounce between his two personas though both are equally intriguing to me. he oozes creativity, movement, theatricality, a stellar voice, emotional lyrics, beautifully aggressive music but above all that its the attitude.
the decadence of honesty and not giving a fuck. press play.
[be aware that his music tends to involve sensuality, sexuality, bisexuality, drugs, addiction, emotional/psychological turmoil, rebellion, if u can't really dig that then disregard.]
missile of off debut "kiss & swallow" in 2004
[told u he was kinky, and that was his girlfriend at the time btw]
spit it out off second release "the alternative" in 2006
[yep, that's her again, sue denim. check her out below in my fav two tracks by her group robots in disguise.]
turn it up from their second album "get rid!"
[chris produced all of their albums and yes, that is the noel fielding at the beginning, and in the hitcher outfit with julian barratt]
the tears from "we're in the music biz" from 2008
[oh yeah, noel is dating the other girl, dee plume. they tend to play 'the girls' in the boosh. i told u its all connected!]
okay i feel better now. i feel like a concept is formulating.
