Alex's hypnotic vocals and intriguing lyrical ideas have evolved from a pure desire to entertain. A brilliant marriage of rock sensibilities and contemporary grooves with Alex's distinctive vocals, 'Black The Sun', his debut solo album, rewards repeated listens by unveiling the subtleties in both words and music. Alex gained a certain amount of recognition as lead singer with the indie rock outfit Mother Hubbard when he was 19. Two years after the band split, recording on 'Black The Sun' began in early 1998. During this time Alex went to Miles Copeland's legendary songwriting workshop at a medieval French castle then on to LA to finish the album with former Psychedelic Fur and now producer Ed Buller (Pulp, Suede). 'Lucky Star', the album's current single, captures the surreal lives of celebrities through the eyes of one who feels more observer than participant. It also features on the soundtrack to the new Australian film 'Two Hands'. Triple J high rotation introduced Australian music fans to this captivating new sound via his debut singles 'Black The Sun' and 'Peepshow' and the track 'Snow' from the Scream 2 soundtrack. In a recent Rolling Stone issue, Powderfinger's Bernard Fanning was asked who he thought was Australia's best male vocalist, and he replied 'Alex Lloyd. Hands down'.
