Chris Corner from IAMX talks to Britsound
Interview with Chris Corner from IAMX, September 2008
IAMX (I am X) is the solo musical project of Chris Corner formerly of legendary indie band, the Sneaker Pimps. Corner has repeatedly said that IAMX is very different from his actual, real-life personality and is a kind of quasi "act". Whether an act or not, IAMX's music is primarily concerned with subjects such as outlandish sex, death, narcotic intoxication, bisexuality, decadence, obsession, alienation and vague allusions to politics. Corner currently lives in Berlin where he has found "the spirit to care less about the music industry and take an independent route." Consisting of highly dark, erotic, 1980s-influenced electro, the debut album Kiss + Swallow was released in 2004.
IAMX' second album, The Alternative was released in April 2006 in Europe, October 2007 (digitally) in the UK + Ireland, November 2007 (physically) in the UK + Ireland and June 2008 on Metropolis Records in the US. A live album and a string quartet EP are also scheduled for release.
