Dead, In The Water
Alex Bent + The Emptiness
August 2016
Introspective and affecting, this electronic dark-pop album was created by young Saskatoon singer-songwriter Alex Bent, with guest musicians rounding out the tracks. It was written during a difficult period in Bent’s life, with musical work bringing a source of comfort. “Influences as diverse as Nine Inch Nails, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Johnny Cash, and Loverboy (you read that right) are everywhere, but so is Bent’s distinctive, velvety croon. He is a captivating vocalist – one of the best I’ve ever heard – so it’s hard not to get drawn into the emotional abyss of ‘Voicemail’ and ‘In The Morning.’ ” - dominionated.ca. Recorded at: home studio, Saskatoon. Produced by: Alex Bent and Matthew Facca.
