Our Take
Our Take
If there ever was a man who embodied the phrase "ahead of his time," it would be Alex Chilton. The former Big Star frontman's lost recordings from 1970 have resurfaced in the form of "Free Again: The 1970 Sessions," and let me tell you, it's a wild ride from start to finish.
Chilton's distinctive voice carries us through a collection of tracks that showcase his raw talent and experimental nature. From the upbeat energy of "Free Again" to the introspective musings of "Every Day As We Grow Closer," Chilton's songwriting shines through with a blend of honesty and eccentricity.
The album's production is a bit rough around the edges, but that only adds to its charm. It's like listening to a demo tape from a genius recluse, giving us a glimpse into Chilton's creative process.
Tracks like "All I Really Want Is Money" and "Shit Wreck" are quirky and playful, showcasing Chilton's irreverent sense of humour. The stripped-back instrumentation allows his vocals to take centre stage, and boy, do they shine.
"Free Again: The 1970 Sessions" is a testament to Chilton's unique talent and creativity. It's a must-listen for fans of indie rock, lo-fi, and everything in between. So go ahead, free yourself from the constraints of mainstream music and dive into the weird and wonderful world of Alex Chilton. You won't regret it.

About the artist
Alex Chilton
ALEX CHILTON: The Ultimate Troubadour of Indie Rock If you were to create a musical Mount Rushmore in honour of indie rock pioneers, Alex Chilton's chiselled face would undoubtedly be carved into the stone. The enigmatic singer-songwriter first made waves as the frontman of the influentially angsty band, The Box Tops, before moving on to craft a solo career that would cement his status as the ultimate troubadour of indie rock. Chilton's music is a masterclass in non-conformity, blending elements of rock, soul, and blues with a touch of poetic irreverence that sets him apart from his contemporaries. His raw, emotive vocals are like a shot of whiskey in a world of bland lemonade, cutting through the noise with a primal urgency that demands to be heard. Despite his undeniable talent, Chilton's career has been marred by a certain mystique, with tales of wild antics and moments of artistic rebellion dotting his legacy like stars in a night sky. He's the kind of artist who doesn't just march to the beat of his own drum – he builds the drum from scratch, then smashes it to pieces just for the hell of it. But beneath the rock 'n' roll bravado lies a true musical genius, as evidenced by his timeless hits like "The Letter" and "September Gurls", which continue to resonate with audiences decades after their release. Chilton's ability to distill the complexities of the human experience into three-minute bursts of sonic brilliance is nothing short of alchemical – he turns pain into poetry, heartache into harmony. So, if you're looking for an artist who's equal parts enigma and legend, look no further than Alex Chilton. His music transcends time and genre, weaving a tapestry of sound that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. In a world of musical copycats and industry puppets, Chilton stands alone as a true original
