Having first made a splash directing the late Michael Hutchence in the film LIMP, slacker Renaissance man Custom turned his attention to creating his own personal recording studio 120 in lower Manhattan and emerging with his debut CLEAN. Cleaving to an eclectic path a la New Radicals founder/one-man band Gregg Alexander and Beck, Custom mixes up loops and hip-hop beats with more traditional musical nuances like acoustic guitar, drums, and Wurlitzer. The results include the clever breakout single "Hey Mister" which deals with going from picking up girls to being on the other side of the coin as the father of a daughter, the low-key break-up ode "May 26." and the introspective existentialist rant "One Day."
Aiding Custom throughout his debut is good buddy Duncan Sheik, who not only provides guitar and harmonies, but co-wrote "Like You," a gothy song full of swirling keys and a muted vocal that brings to mind classic Cure. Chock full of abstract imagery and interesting arrangements, Custom's debut is far from being a CLEAN approach towards pop's status quo.
