Like his debut, 2016's homespun Harlequin, and it's ambitious 2020 follow-up Caravan Chateau, Alex Izenberg's new album I'm Not Here inhabits the shaggy, world-weary mode of artists like Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, Randy Newman, and Lou Reed. With the help of producer Greg Hartunian, and swelling string and woodwind arrangements courtesy of Dirty Projectors' Dave Longstreth, Alex manages a paradoxical and visionary trick: he disappears completely while simultaneously revealing more of himself than ever before.1.
