the alley-oops

s/t EP

(Self-issued)

Spartan instrumentals range from Surf to Spy, and Rockabilly to swinging soirees. Alex traverses the fretboard like home turf. He can muse at leisure, his enunciations enabled by wide knowledge, but also tear through gymnastic runs that snatch breath. Involved ornamentation is absent. That benefits, as basicness facilitates flight.
