ALEXAKIS,ART - Sun Songs (Sealed) (CD)

2019 US release. Some 25 years into his career as a recording artist, Art Alexakis- best-known as the singer-guitarist and sole songwriter behind the iconic alt-rock outfit Everclear-has started a new chapter in his remarkably prolific career, now as a solo artist. A key driver for Alexakis' solo initiative has been the work/rehearsal/recording space he recently constructed near his home in Southern California. The singer-guitarist-who's also a husband and father- enjoys an inspiring work-life balance that allows him to conveniently create whenever he likes, quickly shifting back and forth between the studio and home. He uses his studio HQ to frequently collaborate with co-producer/engineer Stuart Schenk (Invisible Stars), who helped Alexakis develop his solo material. Creating outside of the Everclear realm gives Alexakis the chance to explore styles and sounds that don't necessarily work for his band.
