Alexander Tucker is a British artist and musician known for his work in the hardcore band Suction in the early 1990s. He later played in Unhome before joining Füxa on tour, where he began experimenting with detuned guitars, pedals, and tape loops. In 2000, he released his first self-titled album on U-Sound Archive, followed by Old Fog on ATP Recordings five years later. Tucker has collaborated with Stephen O'Malley on Ginnungagap and with members of Guapo on The Star Gazers Assistant. His third album Furrowed Bow was released in 2006, followed by Portal in June 2008.
Throughout his career, Alexander Tucker has also contributed to various projects and releases including a limited double-7" on ATP. His unique sound can be compared to artists such as Lau Nau, Grumbling Fur, Bill Orcutt, Laura Cannell, Richard Skelton, Ulaan Khol, Philip Jeck, Richard Youngs, Sunburned Hand Of The Man,and Daniel O'Sullivan among others.
With an impressive discography and diverse collaborations under his belt,Alexander Tucker continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories through his artistry.

Thrill Jockey is an American independent record label that was established in 1992 by Bettina Richards, a former A&R representative at Atlantic Records. Originally based in New York City, the label relocated to Chicago, Illinois in 1995.
With over two decades of experience, Thrill Jockey has become a prominent force in the music industry. Known for its diverse roster of artists and commitment to artistic integrity, the label has consistently released groundbreaking and innovative music across various genres.
Thrill Jockey's catalog includes a wide range of critically acclaimed albums from both established and emerging artists. From experimental rock to electronic music, jazz to folk, the label continues to push boundaries and support unique voices within the industry.

Continuing to carve out a space as one of Britain’s most forward-thinking songwriters, on Don’t Look Away, Alexander Tucker displays distinctly honest vocals with subtle shifts through unexpected variations. Don’t Look Away contrasts traditional song structure with experimental collage and rich orchestral arrangements. Viewing the album as the final part of a trilogy, alongside Dorwytch (2011) and Third Mouth (2012), Tucker explains, “the composition across these three albums feels like a move away from my earlier records towards something clearer and traditional but still maintaining my love of manipulating source material into new shapes and forms.” Recorded over an extended period in London and mixed in Daniel O’Sullivan’s Dream Lion Studio, Don’t Look Away emerged during a particularly prolific creative period for Tucker. The album finally came together while Tucker was in Zürich composing for the Swiss National Theatre, and while he was establishing Undimensioned, his own comic imprint as an active member of London’s wildly creative independent comic scene. As a result, Tucker’s wider work feels more present here than on previous recordings and this shows itself often in the lyrics, which range from relationships, including the uncomfortable ones we often have with ourselves, to sci-fi imagery and cosmic horror.
