About the Artist

Alex Gordon came up through the independent Los Angeles music scene of the 90's. He was one of the main architects and songwriters of Loomer, a headlining alternative guitar band influenced by My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, and the Jesus and Mary Chain. Alex Gordon also battled in the trenches of the West Coast rap and hip-hop scene as a recording engineer working with various producers, including Torcha Chamba, Kenyatta Kelo Williams, Daz, and DJ Pooh. Alex left the States in '97 for Tokyo working in the post-modern production of Dream Angels, featuring the Old Moscow Circus, performing alongside modern composers "Blue" Gene Tyranny and the Love of Life Orchestra's Peter Gordon.

Upon returning to LA, Alex Gordon produced the tracks that were to become Small Craft Warnings, the album where "Eternity" comes from. SCW is an electronic work with fragments of modernism, trip-hop, and ambience with enough of a pop sensibility to pull it all together. His work has been compared to Mouse on Mars and Plaid, among others.

Involved in the making of the record are bassist Karl Leiker, whose work includes "Rev," the title track from Perry Farrell's recent foray into electronica, drum loops from Siggi Baldursson, and mastering from LA techno recording artist John Tejada.
