Check out this great article on The Rex Complex featuring video interviews with Rex and Jeremy.

“Thumping, bumping, howling, and growling” are just a few words I came across when researching The Rex Complex. A jolly combination of observation and process, their sound has been described “voodo psyche-blues.” Both Rex and Jeremy cite Micachu as a current influence. Their inde peers, Railbird and Cuddle Magic have also left marked impressions. For influences Jeremy lists The Band, Mr. Bungle, Miles Davis, Apex Twin, and a wide breadth of acts I’ve never heard of. As he puts it, “There aren’t new chords…but there are still new sounds and textures…” Hussman’s influences include Johnny Cash, Otis Redding, Bill Withers, The Clash, and Iggy Pop & The Stooges. He tells me his musical ambitions are to “learn a lot of songs by people I like.” I ask when he first knew it was music for him. “I was two years old,” he tells me. He’d heard the Aardvark song on Sesame Street, and he had to recreate it. His attempts were made on a plastic drum. Full article here.
