Formation

While alias rapped at the beginning of his career and produced, he decided after his debut album, The Other Side of the Looking Glass (2001 ) tends to focus more on instrumental music. In 2003, his first purely instrumental album Muted and Resurgam waived ( with the exception of the song Well Water Black ) to rap.

After Alias ​​had eight years of living in Oakland, California ( like a majority of the under contract with Anticon artist), Resurgam was in Portland, Maine, the place grew on the alias. " Resurgam " (English " I Will Rise Again" ) is the motto of Portland and is translated as " I will rise again ." Alias ​​chose this title as a symbol of the return to his homeland.

The album can the instrumental hip-hop are assigned and also shows influences from electronica and trip-hop. On two songs feature guests are listening to: The rapper Yoni Wolf of Why? on Well Water Black and the indie band The One AM Radio on Weathering.
