Comment: Eric Alexander is one of those stalwarts along with Tinyfolk, James Eric, The Sarcastic Dharma Society, Adrian Aardvark (if to name just some ones) coming out from the Bloomington-based CLLCT collective. Sir Deja Doog is the nom de plume for his side project, however, demonstrating himself as a crafty solo musician. Highly loaded, strumming guitar gears are variegated with profound, contemplative songwriting exploiting just guitar and diverse approaches for singing and delivering his message. The lyrics of the 6-track EP are sometimes descriptive (regarding his loon state of mind), at times plaintive, or straightforwardly striking in its bareness, respectively. He has described the album in the following way - I believed I died and went to Hell. I ended up in the hospital in a catatonic state. This is what I saw.
