about

This track is basically a new song. Written back before hellothisisalex knew that we were hellothisisalex, the song was abandoned still unfinished. Unnamed, unresolved, and unreleased, it languished in our files. When we unearthed it in 2013, we decided to finally finish it. In the end, trying to pick up a conversation from a decade ago was more difficult than we anticipated.

We pared the song down to its absolute basics, arranged it with mostly new music, and finished it with sounds from our time in Sweden in 2008. Garnished with sounds from our cottage on the island of Gotland, we have named it for two of the most ubiquitous things we encountered while there: ‘Tack! (Brucebo fika)’. Tack is Swedish for thanks, and fika is Swedish back-slang for a coffee break with food and snacks. We had fika whenever someone would have it with us, and we said tack an awful lot as a result.

hellothisisalex is Melissa Creasey and Mark Prier. Together, they write bizarro electro-pop infused with whimsy, a love of pop music, experimental audio, and a northern-robot esthetic. In February 2001, they christened themselves ‘hellothisisalex.’

The music the duo write is primarily electronic, filled with raw analogue synths and otherworldly noises carried by melodic bass lines.
