Lateness Of The Hour

Description

Alex Clare is just the sort of musician you're glad is still being made in England's basements, backrooms and bedrooms. Born and bred in South East London and raised on his dad's bebop records, as a child Alex toyed with the trumpet before taking up the drums to help him get rid of all his nervous energy. After teaching himself to play the piano and guitar, Alex landed a small songwriting deal that had him travelling much of England. A few demos eventually found their way to Island Records (U.K.) and two weeks later a deal was on the table. Shortly afterwards Alex was on his way to New Orleans where he got together with producers Diplo & Switch the single "Up All Night" and album track "Tight Rope" were born in those sessions. Alex says the duo made him think about his songs in a totally new way, in came poly-rhythms and synthesizer sounds that wouldn't have happened otherwise. After New Orleans there were trips to Jamaica and L.A to write more and record the songs properly. What Alex returned with is an album that's in touch with his beloved soul and jazz as well as opening itself up to funk and jungle and punk rock and dub-step.
