Alias (france)
Embrace Chaos
Multi-instrumentalist, composer, director, dilettante, polymath: Emmanuel Alias is all that, in addition to officiating as ALIAS, a sprawling and polymorphous rock project through which he experiments and creates in an effervescent and DIY way, advancing a rock s Inspiring psych here, dance-punk or hip-hop there, with twisted and hallucinatory themes at the forefront. First revealing himself with the EP It's Not Funny So Stop Smilin' released under Simone Records in 2021, he returned the following year with the concept album Jozef and toured across Quebec and France in addition to passing through New York and Toronto. Through all this, he also composed music for the series Big Little Lies and Sharp Objects (both broadcast on HBO) and for a number of Cirque du Soleil productions, in addition to serving as director and musical director for Musique Nomadic. His second album EMBRACE CHAOS, on which he almost entirely swaps guitars for synths.
