It’s easy to imagine Philly’s Jeffrey Alexander never leaving the recording studio. In addition to his work with The Heavy Lidders and Dire Wolves, he also releases spaced out, heady tunes under his own name. His latest Bandcamp drop is The Snailhook Tapes Vol 4, and to celebrate its release, he’s back with another Lagniappe Session, offering supremely stoned and drifting takes on classics by Harry Nilsson, Horace Silver and Salome Bey, The Smiths, and Mike Williams. Liquid drips of guitar, percussion, and Alexander’s craggy Neil Young-ish folk abound—wade into these murky waters for a refreshing feeling indeed.
