Always is the one man project of Melbourne, Australia’s Alex Vivian. Drums and vocals loop and create a paranoiac pop form stripped to its essentials. “(Always) loops his frail, Australian-accented voice, intoning queer slogans (“Bear pride equals power/ Bear pride equals freedom”) over and over until these phrases stop affirming and start deforming. Gradual undercurrents of doubt (“Safety in numbers/ Or a community?”) intrude into the chanting, and just as the self-harmonizing takes off, he starts grasping maniacally at the words (“Freedom! Freedom! Power! Power!”) as if they were birds in flight, evasive and barely real. Simple, powerful, and very odd.” – Drew Daniel (Matmos) on Pitchfork
