Scott transferred to UCLA where he earned a degree in ethnomusicology Though fascinated by foreign cultures, he was also frustrated by academic detachment from his own Scott Alexander's music recognizes the power and substance of American musical traditions by maintaining an intelligible pop-sensibility, while offering an alternative aesthetic that celebrates everyday wandering thought: embracing mistakes, imperfection, and instability. His music lies somewhere between drama and song. Catchy for about 6 seconds at a time, his songs are void of verse-refrain repetition, opting instead for a constant melodic and rhythmic flux that emphasize a range of topics most are too awkward to talk about with such intense sincerity. Alone with an electric baritone guitar, Scott's music is appropriately naked, bearing and embracing every nuance of an unstable moment. Scott's latest project, Scott Alexander Makes Friends, includes a new collection of songs as well as an interactive website and performance campaign which remains true to his music, eagerly inviting others to revel in the nexus of sincerity and self-consciousness.
