From ‘Call Me Pretty’ by Alexander F

Aside from the role he plays in long time IHM praised Brooklyn band Rubblebucket, Alex Toth has also been quite busy with a solo project named Alexander F, from which comes second single Soft Coffins. Sawing guitars are met by punchy drums and whimsical vocals on this melodic dallying, vibrant lifting carousel ride, an instant earworm and a lustrous dazzler indeed. Alexander F’s forthcoming debut album is sure to be a scintillating treat. It even features Perfect Pussy, Here We Go Magic, Kimbra, Skaters, and more as guests. The self titled record is set to arrive on February 10th via So Sensation Records.

Rubblebucket’s Alex Toth Brings New Project to Rough Trade NYC

Over the phone, Alex Toth described the spectrum of music he has made in the 10 years he’s been based in Brooklyn. At one extreme, he makes what he calls “really intense punk music” with Alexander F. In the middle, there’s Rubblebucket, his most famous “New Wave” project, an exuberant collaboration with Annakalmia Traver known for explosive brass and high-energy shows. At the other, quieter extreme, is the “much softer” Tōth, the project he returns to Brooklyn with, at Rough Trade NYC on Thursday.

The music isn’t unrecognizable: Many of the textures familiar to Rubblebucket fans carry over—but instead of propulsive, varied percussion, the guitars and trumpets on Tōth’s debut, Practice Magic and Seek Professional Help When Necessary (stream it here), meet strings and keys in a mood that’s sober, contemplative and often pained. Given that mood, I expected to hear that Toth’s debut solo effort emerged from a place of isolation, but in an interview, he spoke optimistically about showcasing his personal work among his community on Thursday night. “The community really birthed the project. Living in Brooklyn for 10 years, the direction that music takes really comes from New York, from Brooklyn.” Fittingly, supporting Toth at Rough Trade NYC is Mal Devisa, from Massachusetts but with a considerable New York City following. “I love Mal Devisa,” Toth says. “I’ve known Deja [Carr] for many years. She came on the road with Rubblebucket years ago, and we’ve played a show together before. I love Mal Devisa’s singing, and her songs are so special.”

Tōth’s material is indeed more morose than most of the other music Alex Toth has made, inspired by a period of heartbreak and injury. To hear him tell it, although Rough Trade NYC should be as much of a party as anything, “a lot of friends come, and family. A hometown show is special because, as a touring musician, even though I live in Brooklyn I don’t get to play in Brooklyn either in Tōth or Rubblebucket, so it feels great to be surrounded by my community.” —Adlan Jackson | @AdlanKJ
