Boy in Static – Candy Cigarette

Boy in Static

Alexander Chen and Kenji Ross are the names behind the electro-pop music of Boy in Static. Based out of San Francisco, Boy in Static has an unusually airy sound brought together with the spirited lead vocals of Alexander Chen. Boy in Static has been a part of my music collection since I first Stumbled Upon their song “Bellyful” awhile back. I really love that song, so when Boy in Static released a new album in March called “Candy Cigarette” I had to check it out.

The music on their entire new album remains an easy listen, with no songs being too overproduced. While more vocally charged “Candy Cigarettes” continues to have the interesting soft sounds that were in previous albums.

A few of the songs that have become favorites of mine are on the new CD; the self titled track “Candy Cigarette” and their first released single “Young San Francisco”. “Candy Cigarette” is a great listen right away because of its simplicity and slightly distorted vocals. It reminds me a little of something I might have heard from the Postal Service. While my other favorite song “Young San Francisco” is very upbeat and one of the more catchier songs on the album.

“Candy Cigarette” is an album you should definitely give a listen too. Also check out Boy in Static’s website where you can download a few mp3’s for free.

    Bellyfull is from Newborn – should probably clear that up.

    I was disappointed with the outcome of this album. The older stuff is much better imho.
