About Reel Boy
Reel Boy's music is fuzzy, distorted, poppy and melodic. He emerged from the ashes of multiple failed music projects and decided to strike out on his own. His first album "Love Songs" came out in 2023. True to its name, the album is a collection of love letters to multiple entities in his life, including Elvis Castello, Ray Bradbury, childhood memories and the people closest to him. His second album "No Bucket" explores themes of helplessness against the forces of time, anxiety, and falling in love.
"With authentic and intentionally imperfect vocals that will be a hit with Teenage Fanclub and Dinosaur Jr. fans and simple yet hooky pop choruses that transpire after the minimalist chord progressions, his sophomore release, Julissa, is just like honey – literally. The same sweetly sombre textural distortion that made The Jesus and Mary Chain hit so indulgently unforgettable becomes the central gravity in Julissa."
