Rexy

Rexy, an artist that needs no proper introduction, left quite the impression on the music industry back when they started in the early '80s. Known for their synthpop textures that flirt with post-punk undertones, this British duo, comprising of Rex Nayman and Vic Martin, were pioneers in a thematically funky – yet almost absurdist – realm of music. Their knack for transforming mundane, everyday ideas into compelling song lyrics made them an unexpected delight in an industry that often took itself too seriously. One might recall the infectious beats of "Don't Turn Me Away" that could make your feet tap out an automatic rhythm, anyone?

Our journey into Rexy's world was visually intriguing, courtesy of the eclectic music videos that complemented their distinct sound. Across their music videos, like the giddy "In The Force," Rexy showcased a riot of spontaneous dance movements, unusual settings, prop-happy scenes, and offbeat fashion sense that further added to their quirky image. They were known to collaborate with directors who dared to think differently, like the visionary British director, Derek Jarman. A quick glimpse into the music video of "Alien" reveals the essence of Rexy; liberally sprinkled alien metaphor tied in with their unapologetic individuality, all seamlessly weaved into an otherworldly narrative that held the ’80s music scene captive. It's like someone took a bunch of 'B-movie' horror props, tossed them in a surreal stream of consciousness blender, resulting in content that was as engaging as their intriguing music.
