Gallowayyys, the solo project of singer-songwriter and producer Blake Alexander, is not one to shy away from his identity and individuality. As a vocalist, composer, producer and audio engineer based in Los Angeles, his music is heavily influenced by innovators such as Basquiat, Jimi Hendrix, Prince and Björk. His brand new EP ANGELS WITH FANGS, PT. 1 is a testament to his eclectic style and approach to music.
The EP shifts through styles and sounds in a fluid, out-of-the-box manner, showcasing Gallowayyys’ willingness to experiment with different genres and ideas. The rap rock energy, contemporaneous production and left-field lyrics all come together to create a sound that is both unique and captivating. The EP speaks to those who have struggled to find their place in the world, encouraging them to be fearless and embrace their individuality.
ANGELS WITH FANGS, PT. 1 is a three-track EP that opens with “DYE IT RED”, a song that starts with a processed and spacey vocal lead and builds into a powerful, anthemic chorus. Alexander’s vocals are raw and emotive, perfectly complementing whirling tones of the synth arrangement.
“PINK LEMONADE” sees Gallowayyys pump the tempo for an experimental hyperpop outing packed full of keleidoscopic instrumentation. Throughout the EP, Gallowayyys’ use of minimal gear for recording, producing, and engineering the songs, while traveling between Texas, California and New York, is impressive. The result is a collection of tracks that are authentic, original and unapologetic.
Gallowayyys’ music is a reflection of his identity, and he doesn’t shy away from his love of women’s clothing and accessories. He feels comfortable expressing himself in this way, and it’s evident in his music. This boldness and fearlessness are what makes Gallowayyys stand out in a crowded music industry. He is not afraid to be himself, and his music is a thrilling showcase of this.
Overall, ANGELS WITH FANGS, PT. 1 is a powerful and inspiring EP that showcases Gallowayyys’ unique style and approach to music. The rap rock energy, unique production and intriguing lyricism make for a sensational listening experience that will leave you wanting more. If you’re looking for innovative music that pushes boundaries and encourages you to be fearless and embrace your individuality, then Gallowayyys is an artist you don’t want to miss.
