ALEX RAND is an experimental-pop producer/songwriter from Montréal, who has recently finished his first solo EP, Sundial, in between recording and touring as a member of the art-rock band LOOK VIBRANT, .

According to Alex the record is, "a collection of experimental-pop songs that explore a wide range of lo-fi sonic textures and harmonic colours within the frame of more accessible pop forms and melodies." 

In other words, Sundial is a heady, engaging take on progressive pop music. Alex deconstructs elements of modern pop, R&B, and indie-rock, then carefully reassembles them into delicate and captivating song structures. This is a maximalist approach to pop arrangements that we've been calling "Art&B".

Hold it Down feat. Lady Alma by 4Hero (Gayance Edit)

prod&eng. Austin Tufts

You may twirl a thousand times in winter
In your best summer dress
And I may tailor so precisely my blue smile
So as to never give you me at my best

But me at my best is tired
And me at my best decides
And me at my best is trying
To pull up from the bottom
With something more than just my breath

But I’m alright
But i’m alright
And the darkness, consuming
Is all I need to find my light
But I’m alright

I tear up from nothing to arrive
At an opening that is fraying a little more each time
But I go inside to stitch, repair and fix the ties
So as to keep you from ever being satisfied

At My Best
