Deeper than Static is the third solo album by Australian
producer Alex Gillett and his affecting Boy is Fiction project.
Those familiar with n5MD might remember Gillett's recent
collaboration with Light Out Asia's Chris Schafer on 2018s A
Single Beam of Light which perfectly merged the two band's
styles. Deeper than Static finds Gillett at laser focus, refining
the Boy is Fiction sound to near perfection. Electronic, often
glitched-up beats embrace astute piano pacing and swashes
of melodic synths. It's affecting and can be, at times, somewhat
catchy, all with a haunting lean that Gillett has wholeheartedly
embraced in his nearly fifteen-year career. Such
melodicism leads to the immediacy of the works on Deeper
than Static which as a bonus get some added vibrancy by
way of mixing, mastering, and additional production by
n5MD label head Mike Cadoo (Bitcrush/ Dryft). Deeper than
Static is out September 9th on limited edition transparent red
vinyl, limited to 250 Units worldwide.
