You might remember Tedesco from his free album <i>Future Strains<\/i> a couple years back.  Well, <i>Pretty Lies<\/i> doesn&#8217;t have much in common with that sonically, but it&#8217;s still <a href=\"http:\/\/alextedesco.bandcamp.com\/\">free<\/a>! Yeah, you definitely want to go download this. It&#8217;s some bizarre experimental pop, with Tedesco goin off the deep end, delivering a dark kitchen sink record with noise punk, anti-folk, electronics, every instrument he can get his hands on, and vocals that defy categorization, insanely deep &#038; rich, like Morrissey singing opera, or maybe like some folk metal bards, very story like, and frequently depressing as hell with lyrics like &#8220;I&#8217;ll probably die alone but that&#8217;s not what I&#8217;m worried about. I&#8217;m worried about my soul.&#8221; This is weird on every level, but still rooted in pop, so there&#8217;s recognizable song structures and melodies and shit, even if there isn&#8217;t always a chorus to chime in with. It&#8217;s not an easy listen by any means, but 1) you like it that way and 2) this beast is free. Ain&#8217;t no reason for you to skip over this unless you&#8217;re feeling unadventurous, in which case, <a href=\"http:\/\/alextedesco.bandcamp.com\/\">download<\/a> it any way and save it for a rainy day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Tedesco &#8211; Contempt (self released) &nbsp; This is some weeeeird shit.
