Taiwanese-Canadian Alex Zhang-Hungtai) has sculpted his distinctive sound and mysterious persona over several years. Now he\u2019s attracting lots of attention for his strange, cinematic brand of experimental rockabilly and exciting live performances. Zhang-Hungtai crafts distorted soundscapes using just his voice, electric guitar and loops and samples. He released his debut full-length,\u00a0<em>Badlands<\/em>, this year to a flood of praise from peers and critics, including pitchfork.com. Dirty Beaches has become one of the most talked-about artists at festivals like SXSW and NXNE. It took time for people to catch on to his music, but, as Zhang-Hungtai says, \u201cThe hard work did pay off. I would meet like-minded people on the road who were really supportive of what I do.\u201d He undertook a month-long European tour this summer, and will record a new album this winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Praised by critics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":111125,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-non-categorise"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uat.socan.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
