The Quiet Party
Alec James
Warm, low off-hand vocals accompanied by an understated backup band, lots of slow songs, and sarcastic, depressing lyrics about alienation, failed relationships, melancholy memories, and dreams.

Description
NOTE: A big Thank You to all who have purchased The Quiet Party - it means the world to me. This is soon to become an out-of-print CD; I'm almost out of all copies. I am working on a three new CD's: one of mostly upbeat (???) material, one compilation of home 4-tracks, and one of electronic/ambient groove material. I hope you enjoy the cd, and please check back for future discs. -- Alec James.
BIO:
The Quiet Party is the debut CD from Alec James, on Wanderlust Records.
Alec James presents himself as pop-folk singer/songwriter/guitarist with a warm, low voice, and melancholy lyrics spiked with sarcasm. The music maintains a relaxed feel throughout, with all ten songs in the slow-to-midtempo range. "I wanted to make a late-night type of record that never destroyed the mood with some upbeat number," James explains, "you know, a long drive record, or a makeout record. A record you can enjoy and ignore at the same time."
The Quiet Party has found airplay on a number of college stations, including charting for 6 weeks on WSIA in Staten Island, and James' songs have been featured in such independent films as "Voyeur.com," "Strings," "The Perfect Wife," and "Eight Lanes in Hamilton". In addition to dates in Los Angeles and San Diego, Alec James performed at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City.
James has explored a variety of styles over his career, including punk (The UnSound), country (Dan Janisch, The Hankshow), jambands (Bughouse, Miles of Slack), and solo acoustic. In addition to headlining shows, he has shared bills with Masters of Reality, Eddie Munoz of The Plimsouls, and worked with Derf Scratch of FEAR and Jason Falkner of Jellyfish.
Alec James continues to play, write, record, and perform in Southern California, and currently lives in Hollywood, CA.
