Alex Cameron, with Josh da Costa

Alex Cameron is an Australian singer-songwriter known for blending lo-fi synth-pop with a theatrical, alter-ego-driven stage persona. His work often explores ambition, failure, and modern masculinity. Josh da Costa is a Los Angeles-based musician and multi-instrumentalist whose solo debut, New Wave Graveyard (Stones Throw), is a surreal collection of “greatest hits from a parallel universe.” A longtime fixture of the NYC and LA undergrounds, da Costa fronted post punk / “mystery rock” trio Regal Degal (RVNG Intl.) as well as its more electronic offshoot CMON (Mexican Summer) and has played drums with Drugdealer, Chris Cohen, Jessica Pratt, and MGMT. As a DJ, he hosts the monthly NTS Radio show Confusing Mix, devoted to showcasing obscure, off-kilter, and infectious music from a seemingly alternate reality. His own music is an extension of that obsession: a Frankenstein’s monster of forgotten sounds, drawing freely from glam rock, shoegaze, disco, house, and outsider pop to create the kind of strange, irresistible songs you hope to discover buried in a record bin.
