Exciting New Irish Artist Alex Eydt Releases Debut Album ‘Guardians’
Alex Eydt, is one putting himself out there as one of the most interesting artists to come out of Ireland in recent years. The 24-year old has a vision of changing the musical landscape within Ireland.
Unlike most artists, Alex was late to the party, having only discovered music during COVID, where he locked himself away and immersed himself in a grueling study of musical history and theory. His lack of formal education has made his output formless – meandering in and out of different genres like it’s nothing.
His second ever release earlier this month, ‘Face Her’, landed on the much coveted and increasingly selective ‘New Music Friday UK’ playlist earlier this month, an incredible feat for a new independent artist and testament to his artistic potential.
With influences ranging from Indie to hip-hop to dance, or Gorillaz to NAS to Justice, Alex Eydt has created a truly unique offering in a debut album that no one saw coming. ‘Guardians’, is a mesh of conflicting personalities. This new form of thinking where creativity is not confined to one perspective, and from this birthed an avant-garde pop record that defies easy categorization, making Alex a true chameleon.
On the focus track, ‘Take Someone’, Alex speaks on going against the status quo:
“I see this as more of an art installation than a song, but still very very relevant to Guardians. I wanted to make people jump. This isn’t going to be pleasant to listen to and I hope it taps into something psychological because of that.”
The album ‘Guardians’ is a conceptual journey, a musical ceremony that delves into the profound themes of religion, spirituality, and the struggle to maintain sound mental health and doctrine in the modern era.
From the likes of ‘DeMar -::’ a transient adventure using old sampling techniques, to ‘Take Someone’, an old Spaghetti Western soundtrack, to ‘Vision :: Voice’, a Elvish chorus, one really does not know what Alex Eydt will do next and the mythical story surrounding him is growing.
In a music industry where formulaic compositions often prevail, Alex’s ‘Guardians’ offers a breath of fresh air. It is a kaleidoscope of musical experiences. And with a commitment that promises to redefine the music industry, Alex Eydt has his sights firmly set on leaving an indelible mark on Irish music.
