Donnie Alexzander is the Hartford-based grunge project of Matt Merton. Their self-titled debut, recently released physically, showcases four slow-burning laments.
There is a timely lo-fi haunt to this EP, welcomed as the season turns stone cold. Biting guitars and a gothic cathedral ambience cloak Donnie Alexzander’s densely dark instrumental palette. Meandering between desperation and catharsis, Merton likely performs these fervent tracks with a sinister grin.
Recently, Merton joined Short Month on bass. They released Two Weeks & A Bit this past May.
