The New York
Times says 2% Milk “delivers
structural and emotional complexity with deceptive nonchalance. Through
heartache, rejection, workplace harassment and pervasive disillusionment, Alex Lilly’s songs keep their cool.” Stream 2%

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 now 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 latest
single “Pornographic Mind,” a
tune dedicated to the idea of enjoying the annoying. See the music video for
the song via
an exclusive premiere at FLOOD.
“At first I was a little hesitant to even put out this
song. My story was such a lighthearted version of workplace misconduct; I
didn’t want anyone to think I was an apologist for badly behaving men! I'm not,
but in this particular situation, it was more humorously pathetic than anything
else,” Lilly explains of the tune.
The music video’s co-director, Inara George adds, “I
think the first time I heard this song was when the idea for the video popped
into my head. I think most women can point to a moment when they’ve experienced
a little indignity at the work place.”
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 out
now. Lilly tours with KOLARS in February and March. See above
for full itinerary. Alex Lilly is
available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
at Fanatic for more information.
