theWhen - “The Downeaster Alexa“ (Billy Joel Cover)

NYC-raised synthpop artist, songwriter and producer Matt Kourie - known to his fans as theWhen, released his sophomore EP, entitled ​Layer Zero​, on June 30th. ​Under the Gun Review calls Kourie a “mastermind and curator,” while raving that this new record “contains a huge sound, mixing modern electronic, rock and pop elements to deliver memorable track after memorable track.” Popular single from the album, “The Downeaster Alexa” - a Billy Joel cover, has been hailed by Baeble Music​, who said, “Taking the synthy touchstones that marked much of ​Storm Front and amping them all up to 11, theWhen takes an already bombastic Joel tune and gives it an almost orgiastic intensity.” Cinematography by Shay Motion “LAYER ZERO EP“ AVAILABLE NOW -
