Review: Following the break-up of Azari & III, Alixander has delivered this EP for Toy Tonics. Working with vocalists from his hometown of Toronto, he drops a three-tracker that pushes house music to its outer limits. "(She's So) Young", which features Kim E & Gingy, is the most conventional track, its deep acidic lines and playful female vocals chopped up to seductively claim "there's a few girls for the new girls". "The Black Room", featuring Terence Kissner, is more discordant and the evocative vocals are underpinned by detuned riffs, howling analogue tones and steely percussion. By the time he gets to "Something 'Bout You" featuring Chobo, it sounds like Alixander is throwing away the rulebook with the vocals surfacing in a soupy but metallic arrangement.
