Multi-instrumentalist Alex Jordan was part of a feature on the July 25 edition of Greasy Tracks spotlighting music from the San Francisco Bay Area.
Jordan recently released The Subtle Exhibitionist (Chicken Man Music), his debut solo album following his departure from Midnight North last year. He spent nearly six years with the group playing guitar, keyboards and adding vocals. He was part of two studio and a pair of live releases with the San Francisco-based band.
Jordan’s album has been a few years in the making. Armed with some demos he had put together, Jordan went into the studio in November 2017. He played the majority of the instruments on the album, but has a handful of guest musicians, including Dave Zirbel (lap/pedal steel guitar), Sean Nelson (drums), Owen McInnis (bass), Steve Adams (bass) and Danny Eisenberg (Hammond organ), adding support.
He wrapped up recording in March 2019, but due to his commitments with Midnight North, but it wasn’t until earlier this year that all production and mastering on the 10 tracks was completed.
In addition to tracks from Jordan’s album, a variety of music from Bay Area bands was also be featured.
