“Pretty freaking awesome. It’s a weird Los Angeles
fantasy world where the digital realm crosses into real life and there’s a lot
of cats all around,” says The FADER in
its premiere coverage of the music video “Distracting Me” by Alex
Lilly.

Los Angeles-based artist Alex Lilly is a renaissance female.
In addition to the writing, arranging, producing, and
playing of her own music, Lilly has
established a notable career out on the road as a part of the touring bands of
such esteemed musicians Beck, Lorde, Ry Cooder, and the bird and
the bee. When Lilly’s in L.A,
she has stayed busy throughout the years with her own projects such as Obi Best, The Living Sisters, Touché,
and Zero DeZire.
Now Lilly
is bringing all of her talents, ideas, and her singular voice to the table in
the form of 2% Milk, her debut full-length album, out Jan. 11th, 2019 via newly-formed Release Me Records.
Lilly’s ability to take a song out of the realm of merely
entertaining to intriguing is all over the album’s first single “Distracting Me,” a tune dedicated
to the idea of enjoying the annoying. “Distracting
Me” is available
on all major streaming platforms now. The music video for the song is now
available via an exclusive premiere at The
FADER.
“What better testament to loving someone than when you
enjoy their interruptions?” Lilly
explains of the tune. Of the
video, Lilly says, Jason Greene (aka iconic gender fluid
actor, Freckle) had previously
killed me in a music video and danced around with my blood. This time I wanted
her back in a more playful role as a relentless kitten that pulls me away from
my digital addiction.”
The latest single taken from 2% Milk is the
intriguingly titled “Pornographic Mind,”
also streaming
everywhere now. In its premiere
coverage of the song, PopMatters
says, “The tune is a combination of classic AM radio pop, of the kind that has
inspired Lilly’s sometime bandmate Inara George, as well as breezy, late
'80s synthesizer pop, think Madonna
with a more poetic bent or Belinda
Carlisle momentarily expressing an appreciation for the avant-garde.”
Lilly’s songs – she describes her sound as “sexy psychological
thriller” – are synthy, syrupy, and suspicious i.e. there’s something going on
here that’s not only pop, but actually pops. The intrigue that abounds on 2%
Milk moves the listener beyond toe-tapping and finger-snapping,
straight to brain-mapping.
2% Milk,
the debut album from Alex Lilly, is
scheduled for release on Jan. 11th,
2019, preceded by the singles “Distracting
Me,” and “Pornographic Mind,” out
now.
Alex Lilly is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
