Alex Calder – Time EP (2013) review
Alex Calder “Time EP” (Captured Tracks, 2013)
This album of guitar dream pop is the perfect addition to
your record collection. Known for his association with weirdo rocker Mac
DeMarco, Alex finally branches off on his own and its almost a wonder why it

DeMarco’s old band Makeout Videotape and it is kinda surprising why he was
playing back up guitar straight from the start. With simple melodies matched
with dreamy effects and a very modest garage pop sound this is the kind of
record I want to have in the coldest days of winter to lock myself in a warm
room and put on repeat over and over and over…..

*Also I should note that Makeout Videotape is one of the
best bands I have had the opportunity to see about 6 times and the recordings
rule! Seek them out on Bandcamp!
