Drifters / Love Is the Devil
“The latest from Alex Zhang Hungtai's reference-heavy experimental music project is a double album. One half offers some electronics-heavy twists on the desert noir songs of his last album, Badlands, while the other veers into abstraction. Taken together, they offer a sonic travelogue that takes the textural aspects of his work to impressionistic heights.”
Badlands
“Alex Zhang Hungtai takes a sense of displacement and an ear for eerie, stylized noirish sounds and creates something unique and refreshing.”
Stateless
“What may be the final Dirty Beaches album was recorded in Alex Zhang Hungtai's current homebase of Lisbon. The album consists of instrumentals and primarily features synths and saxophone; in stark contrast to that combo’s new-agey connotations, the tracks here corrode in grainy, greyscale textures.”
