Preview: Bostonist Interviews Boy In Static

Bostonist was exposed to Boy in Static (Alex Chen) a mere four weeks ago thanks to the wonder of our favorite online photo gallery (and oh so much more) Flickr. Ever since that moment we have been listening to his album on late night drives home to the suburbs, in the lingering hours of a night of studying (yes, some of us are STILL in school), and just generally whenever we get a free moment.

After logging myriad hours humming along to such beautiful tracks as "Bellyfull" and "Kissed Under the Sun" off his debut release Newborn, Bostonist decided it was time to interview Alex and learn more about him, the music, and his life in Boston.

This is just a preview of a few moments of our interview, a more extensive post will follow later this week.

Please be sure to check out Boy in Static on Tuesday evening for Electric Valentine at Bill's Bar.
