Growing up on death metal and prog, Alex always had a penchant for technical guitar work. After seeing the innovative playing styles of
Trace Bundy and
Kaki King, his interests shifted to a focus on fingerstyle guitar. Later influences such as
This Will Destroy You and
Explosions In The Sky would sneak their way into his playing and writing, weaving delays and looping into his compositions. Brubaker's latest singles showcase the breadth of his acoustic guitar's sonic capabilities.
First Dance is a purist fingerstyle piece, solely focused on beautiful melodies; while
As Mountains Fall into the Sea is the sounds of a one-man post-rock orchestra, with layers and samples and wonderment sending you off into space. These serve as a preview for his upcoming full length, Building Harmonic Castles, due out in the fall of 2020!
