In August 2007, after eight years of innovating in Oakland, Alias went home to Portland, Maine, a city which, despite plenty of inclement weather, has burned almost to the ground four times whose Latin motto translates in no uncertain terms to I will rise again. Thus, that motto, Resurgam, is a doubly fitting title for Alias' first solo instrumental album in five years, one which finds the accomplished electro/acoustic musician and beat-smith returning to a proven foundation, while building all else anew. New to a Few, I Heart Drum Machines, Well Water Black (Feat. Why?), Oakland Morning, M.G. Jack, Prelude to a Death Watch, Death Watch, Place of No More Choices, Resurgam, Autumnal Ego, The Weathering (Feat. the One Am Radio), Justamachine, Oakland in the Rearview
