Alexander Spit made his national television debut on Monday, showing us the process of making, and giving a little background on, his debut album A Breathtaking Trip To That Otherside. It’s out now on Decon. Spit is a Bay Area native, but he’s relatively untethered to geography, a stranger in a familiar land. Alexander Spit’s debut album, A Breathtaking Trip To That Otherside, follows a string of dense, playful mixtapes, and with its allusion to science fiction, Hunter S. Thompson and psychedelic mushrooms, it’s obvious that the Filipino rapper and producer is looking to blow some minds and provide a type of aesthetic asphyxiation that leaves you, well, breathless. But when was the last time something earned that title and truly took your breath away? It’s easier said (or typed) than done.
