Lexicon Devil is a project which was initially not meant to see the light of day. Originally, it served as creator Justin Pittney’s personal outlet; an experiment in creativity and a way to craft music solely for himself.
Over the years, Pittney has been a quiet force in the underground. He currently plays in The Devil Is Real alongside King Dude, and in Shadowing with STRFKR’s Keil Corcoran. In the past, he led the garage rock outfit Love City, toured with legends like Buzzcocks and Pierced Arrows (Fred and Toody Cole's band after Dead Moon), and built a respected reputation as a producer, earning praise from none other than Iggy Pop.
The debut single, Alive // Dead, is a raw and foreboding introduction to Lexicon Devil, steeped in nerve and atmosphere, setting the tone for what’s to come.
“I didn’t want to make music for anyone else this time,” Pittney unveils. “I just wanted to have fun. I’ve been spending hours revisiting my favorite records DJing — everything from early blues to black metal — and all of that energy, dramatic and aggressive, is bleeding into these songs.”
