George Alley’s self-titled debut album news follows his announcement of a screening of the concert footage of his band on June 27th at 6:30 pm as the official LGBTQIA+ artist for Groundfloor Studios for Pride Month. This will also be a sneak preview of promotional videos for four of the singles from the upcoming album: ‘Fake Sick!’, ‘Wishlist’, ‘Summer Trophies’, and ‘King in Town.’ A planned string of live shows and DJ sets will follow in September.
These grand post-punk pop new songs reaffirm Alley’s description of the follow-up to his more somber ballad “Just Leave Me Dreaming” as “a power record.” Upon announcing the album, he explained, “I was born being obsessed with all kinds of music from the Punk songs I write about as a journalist and professor, to the pop songs I grew up listening to while auditioning for the New Mickey Mouse Club, to the dance music I have been hearing in clubs from New York to Berlin. This is the album I’ve always wanted to make.”
Talking about his music, George Alley says “Oscar Wilde said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” I also always wanted to write a song with a “plagal cadence” which doesn’t rely on the normal chord progressions in a key. One of the most famous examples of this is “Hey Joe” by Jimi Hendrix.”.
