Boy is Fiction

Boy is Fiction is the somewhat deceptive pseudonym that Melbourne electronic music producer Alex Gillett records. Since the release of his self-titled debut in 2007, Gillett has built a catalog of melodic, beat-propelled experimental electronica wrapped in glitch and cinematic ambient motifs. In 2018 he landed at his spiritual home in Oakland's n5MD with the release of his third full-length 'A Single Beam of Light,' a collaboration with Chris Schafer of label mates Lights Out Asia. Gillett's music is a deeply personal and intricately woven world where the organic and synthetic fuse and textural landscapes are littered with fractured beats, haunting melodies, and broken samples. His fourth full-length 'Deeper than Static' is out September 9, 2022.
