German music mag Spex has debuted the music video for Alexander Geist‘s new single “Bad Language,” which the artist describes as “an anti-Jubilee flick book of images which define contemporary Britain; complete with its class warfare, sham government, arms trade and unjustifiable monarchy.” Time Out London‘s assessment: ”We like the shades, the sarky projections, the f-words and the vibrato.”
The song itself — available on 7″ and digitally via Haute Areal — is getting quite favorable reactions too. Noisey gushes: “Alexander Geist’s darling debut single, produced by depraved ex-pat teenage genius Joey Hansom, opens with a pastiche of Donna Summer and Sylvester, locating Alexander as the true heir to disco’s legacy. ‘Bad Language’ is both sassy and melancholy. He is at once immaculately coiffed, superficially cool, and gorgeous, and still somehow bratty, adenoidal, and rebellious.”
BUTT Magazine has featured an interview with Herr Geist along with a free, exclusive mp3 of TUSK’s dancefloor remix of “Bad Language”; meanwhile, hip-hop polymath Black Cracker’s drastic reworking of the tune is available for download exclusively at Electronic Beats, who have described Alexander as “a little bit Bowie, a little bit Dietrich, and all class.”
